Yet another downside of having bullies as your academic role models & mentors #KindnessInScience

Mentorship Malpractice Fantastic summary of this JAMA article by @THilalMD. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… #WomenInSTEMM #WomenInTech #InclusiveSTEMM

Replying to @THilalMD
However, mentor-mentee relationships are, by definition, unequal. Mentees are more vulnerable and more likely to disproportionately suffer in a dysfunctional relationship. The paper defines mentorship malpractice as behavior that puts a mentee’s academic career at risk.

.@JillGallagherAO #NAIDOC18: Though we were great hunter-gatherers,we did more than that.We were farmers; developed aquaculture & preserved foods such as eels through smoking. We had our own medicines, we did brain surgery, long before @WEHI_research existed! #BecauseOfHerWeCan
