The latest Nature Awards for Mentoring in Science recognized three researchers based in the South American country. Here’s their advice for providing excellent mentorship.
by 90%. “The last couple of years have been very difficult for everyone in Brazil, not just scientists,” Verri says. “I try not to show my disappointments to students. They need to see the light at the end.”
Filardy earned praise from judges for her “personal mentoring style”. A nominating student wrote: “She is not simply the boss, she is part of the team … [she gives] us all structure and strength to continue in research.” Start early. I started a first-year undergraduate course on biomedical science 15 years ago. I think students should get in the lab when they’re 17 or 18 years old. Some people say that’s too early for real science. Of course it’s too early. But it gives students a chance to see how a lab works and whether they like it. If they’re exposed to lab work when they’re young, there’s a stronger possibility that they’ll continue with science.
Support alternative paths. Not all students want to stay in academia, and I respect that. I know that the best-possible scientific training will be good for them, no matter what they do in life. One of my former undergraduate students recently got a job as a recruiter for a consulting company. She’s very happy. Brazilian universities are facing hard times, so encouraging students to pursue jobs beyond academia is a way to stay positive.
