  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    As a Professor of Biological Science, my focus is on studying plant genetics, maize epigenomics, and genome architecture, utilizing 3D imaging, molecular genetics, and genomics. My students are engaged, therefore, in our shared research goals.
    My mentoring philosophy involves treating students as though they are already in the next stage of their professional development. While the expectations are high, I make sure to acknowledge and support their efforts, training, and growth, irrespective of the outcome of their projects. By doing so, they experience the ups and downs of being a real scientist and receive meaningful guidance and skills to enhance and apply their education.
    To bring this philosophy to life, I help my students produce lasting contributions from their work in the form of presentations or peer-reviewed publications. This enables them to make a tangible impact and gain recognition for their work.
    After working with student scholars at FSU for over 20 years, I created the E3 principle of student mentoring - Empowerment, Excellence, and Elevation.
    EMPOWERMENT: Creating opportunities for additional career growth and putting students in charge of their projects for them to learn to own and enjoy their achievements.
    EXCELLENCE:  Hands-on training teaches excellence in scholarship, and how adhering to high standards in data quality and management can lead to success.
    ELEVATION: Providing opportunities to excel beyond the traditional student experience, embedding them in conferences, scientific discussions, and collaborations.  These activities elevate their performance, confidence, and competitiveness for their future careers.

    To assist with public education outreach on social media using Dr. Bass 21-year maize-10-maze project.
    See crazylazycorn.org for more information.
    The Bass las has excellent picture and video content of students of all ages learning about fun maize mutants and genetics.
    Active on Instagram and tik tok (tik tok see "scienceforyall" [Dr. Bass site] and "cornqueenB" [Bianca Sheridan's site, doctoral student in Bass lab]
    Students will work with Bianca and Hank to curate, update, and develop maize genetics educational online content.
    We also have an image and movie database omeka at https://crazycornmutants.omeka.net/
    The Bass lab is an active, fun, and supportive place to be creative and contribute to society through research and outreach.
