Abstract
One of the best things you can do at the start of your scientific career is to find a mentor. A wise and caring mentor can mean the difference between wandering around aimlessly or striding purposefully down the path of academic life and beyond.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.
– John Quincy Adams
