Sigh. Where to begin?

In our longitudinal study we showed that w each additional same gender mentor students had 2x greater chance of staying in the geosciences...

But then again we didn't define success as number of papers published... https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-19723-8#MOESM1

In our 2018 Geosphere paper we illustrated that with each same gender mentor, undergrads who identify as women increased their likelihood of staying in the field (~25% w 0 mentors, ~75% w 3 or more mentors) https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geosphere/article/14/6/2585/566164/Role-modeling-is-a-viable-retention-strategy-for

in our 2020 (shorter term) follow up study - we illustrated that students needed to meet #inspirational role models, skills & knowledge to overcome obstacles, & a local mentor https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-020-0005-y

finally - b/c i just can't with this paper

academic advising is not #mentoring, yes we all need intellectual support but we need more than that & thus mentoring works best when you share values & experiences & seek support from many individuals #ItTakesAVillage
