Abstract

A supportive mentorship has long-lasting effects on shaping students' personal and professional development. Here, we outline important aspects of mentoring and indicators of good mentors, focusing on effective mutualistic interaction. We believe that traditional academic advice should be expanded to include supportive group mentoring to foster future top scientific talent.
