Mentoring Philosophy I have mentored over 50 undergraduate students over the past 10 years. My philosophy is the students gets out of the experience what they put into it. I also try to setup a buddy system where new students work with other undergraduate researchers, grad students and postdocs to help them feel familiar and comfortable with the lab environment.
