Mentorship

Find researchers open to mentoring, ask with concrete goals, and keep goals, meetings and resources in one place.

Who can mentor

Anyone who switches on Open to mentoring under Settings → Research. Mentors are ranked for you by how well their interests and methods overlap with the topics you enter, with a small preference for mid-career and senior researchers.

Asking

  1. Mentorship → Find a mentor: enter the topics and methods you want help with, pick a mentor and Ask.
  2. Write concrete, time-bound goals and how often you would like to meet; your time zone is shared for scheduling.
  3. The mentor accepts or declines; you are notified either way and can ask someone else.

Working together

Active mentorships carry shared notes typed as goal, meeting, resource or note. Goals can be ticked off; both sides see everything. Either side can end the mentorship; the notes stay readable.
