Mentorship is essential to the development of anyone in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or medicine (STEMM), but did you know mentorship is a set of skills that can be learned, practiced, and optimized? In this 10-part series from The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, listeners will hear the personal mentorship stories of leaders in academia, business, and the media, in their own words. STEMM leaders like physicist Dr. Jim Gates, astronaut Dr. Ellen Ochoa, and groundbreaking physician Dr. Vivian Pinn share their personal experiences with mentorship throughout their distinguished careers. Each highlights evidence-based mentorship skills that can and should be learned to maximize STEMM students’ potential.
