  mentoring_philosophy: |
    My goal is to support you to become a confident, capable and independent researcher. My mentoring approach is a three-step process designed to help you master new tasks and concepts:
    Watch and Learn: First, I'll demonstrate a task from start to finish, explaining each step so you can see how it's done.
    Practice with Guidance: Next, you'll complete the task while I'm present. I'll provide real-time guidance and feedback as you take the lead.
    Independent Practice: Finally, you'll complete the task on your own. I'll be in the room as a resource, but the work will be entirely yours. I’ll review it at the end with you to ensure successful completion. 
    As you build competence, I'll step back, giving you more autonomy. You'll take ownership of your work, though I'll always be here to support you. I'll expect weekly updates and will review all your work to ensure we stay on track.

  overall_research_project_description: 'The research project aims to look at how diet induced obesity shifts the anatomical and functional activity of specific cell structures in the olfactory bulb, called glomeruli in mice. These structures are the main unit for olfactory processing, and we aim to investigate how these cells shift in their activity and the known degeneration that occur with prolonged exposure to poor diets.

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: 'Research assistants will be expected to work on a laptop or lab computer to analyze structural morphology of glomeruli (cell structures) using downloadable imaging software. Assistants will also be expected to learn simple commands in MATLAB to support their analysis. Students (if interested) may also participate in the development of code to support the analysis that will be completed. '
