Mentoring scheme case studies

The BSI mentoring scheme sees two immunologists, one a senior researcher, the other an early career researcher (ECR) paired up over the course of the year. They chat regularly via video conferencing, telephone, and face to face meetings. Topics covered can include career progression, grant writing, publishing, networking, and many other career and wellbeing issues. Below you will find some of the pairs from the 2020 scheme who have successfully taken part in it and here share their insights and experiences.
