Dr Clarissa Giebel - The importance of good mentorship

Dr Clarissa Giebel narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Clarissa's blog emphasises the crucial role of mentors throughout various stages of a research career, from PhD students to senior leaders. Clarissa highlights the benefits of mentorship in offering career guidance, new ideas, and a chance to reflect on one's path with the insight of experienced academics. She suggests seeking mentors both within and outside one's field and underscores the importance of having a good rapport. The blog also touches on the unique challenges faced by female academics, advocating for mentorship as a way to navigate these challenges and encouraging researchers to actively seek mentorship opportunities.
