We believe that prioritizing the needs of researchers and focusing on providing high-quality mentorship leads to greater creativity, and ultimately productivity, in our research programs. By taking the #MentorFirst Pledge, I am making a commitment to prioritize the professional development, career goals, and general well-being of the members of my research lab as they develop as scientists and pursue their personal and professional goals.
