Being a Supervisor

Kate Sleeth
Over my career as a scientist I had the opportunity to mentor a number of students; both as a graduate student and then as a postdoc. Most summers I had one summer student who I dedicated time and effort to; both in teaching my research to, as well as teaching the skills necessary to assist me. Over the years I hope that I have honed my skills; and they have certainly been tested. Although I am convinced one of my students will literally be the next Leonardo De Vinci some of them were more challenging (both due to personality and ability).
