Making the most out of conferences

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,860
Welcome to the Clinician Researcher podcast, where academic clinicians learn the skills

2
00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:11,260
to build their own research program, whether or not they have a mentor.

3
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:17,340
As clinicians, we spend a decade or more as trainees learning to take care of patients.

4
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:22,380
When we finally start our careers, we want to build research programs, but then we find

5
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:27,780
that our years of clinical training did not adequately prepare us to lead our research

6
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:29,180
program.

7
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:35,480
Through no fault of our own, we struggle to find mentors, and when we can't, we quit.

8
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,580
However, clinicians hold the keys to the greatest research breakthroughs.

9
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:46,200
For this reason, the Clinician Researcher podcast exists to give academic clinicians

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,800
the tools to build their own research program, whether or not they have a mentor.

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:01:01,020
Now introducing your host, Toyosi Onwuemene.

12
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:03,380
Welcome to the Clinician Researcher podcast.

13
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:09,940
I'm your host, Toyosi Onwuemene, and it is an absolute pleasure to be talking with you today.

14
00:01:09,940 --> 00:01:12,100
Thank you so much for tuning in.

15
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:16,780
I want to bring you this episode today about making the most out of conferences that you

16
00:01:16,780 --> 00:01:17,780
attend.

17
00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:23,020
And I will say that this comes to me from the last few days where I've been attending

18
00:01:23,020 --> 00:01:27,940
a conference, which has been really intense, really fun, really deeply educational.

19
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:28,940
So much was learned.

20
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:34,500
I feel like my life has changed as a result of attending this conference.

21
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:35,860
And I know it has, right?

22
00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:38,900
I know it has, even when I don't feel like it has.

23
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:44,060
Every time you do something for yourself and you take time away to invest in yourself,

24
00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:46,820
there's always a transformation, even when you can't feel it.

25
00:01:46,820 --> 00:01:50,260
Even when it feels like, oh, there we go, we did another conference.

26
00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:52,020
The reality is that your life is changing.

27
00:01:52,020 --> 00:01:54,300
So this has been a phenomenal conference.

28
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,980
And yes, just to be specific, it's not an academic conference.

29
00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:04,060
It's a conference that I attended as kind of like a life development type conference.

30
00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:05,860
And it was just phenomenal.

31
00:02:05,860 --> 00:02:08,780
Anyway, so of course, conferences are on my mind.

32
00:02:08,780 --> 00:02:13,060
And I think about, wait a minute, how do you maximize the value that you get out of attending

33
00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:14,060
a conference?

34
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:16,620
Because sometimes it can feel like it's just the norm.

35
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:20,140
We attend conferences and whatever happens.

36
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,420
I have to travel, oh my gosh, or not travel.

37
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:28,860
But there's room to really create out of conferences the experience that you want.

38
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:34,140
And so I want to share a little bit about how do you maximize the value that you receive

39
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:37,900
from a conference so that you don't feel like you are just attending.

40
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,740
You know that it actually is serving you.

41
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:44,580
Because when your life is changing, but you are not aware that it's changing, then is

42
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:45,580
it really changing?

43
00:02:45,580 --> 00:02:52,060
And part of the power of change or transformation is when you realize transformation is happening.

44
00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:57,540
And so how do you really capture the transformation that's happening so that you can channel it

45
00:02:57,540 --> 00:03:00,420
in a way that actually improves your experience?

46
00:03:00,420 --> 00:03:01,420
Okay.

47
00:03:01,420 --> 00:03:05,500
So the first thing is that if you're going to go for a conference, you really want to

48
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:06,540
create space to attend.

49
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:07,540
Now what does that mean?

50
00:03:07,540 --> 00:03:12,780
I mean, you're leaving home and you're traveling and you're going somewhere for the conference.

51
00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:15,260
But it's like, are you creating space to attend?

52
00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:19,700
Like sometimes, and I will say this is my experience, sometimes I've attended a conference

53
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:25,300
where I've taken my whole family to the conference and I'm distracted because on the one hand,

54
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,820
they're not part of the conference and I am.

55
00:03:27,820 --> 00:03:31,740
So here I am trying to attend the conference, but also trying to manage their needs and

56
00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:33,300
responsibilities.

57
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:34,640
That is distracting.

58
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,940
And I will say that I don't fully get the benefit of actually being at the conference

59
00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:42,820
or the full benefit of actually hanging out with them because my mind is divided and split.

60
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:46,740
I'm like, yeah, I'm going to give a talk at four, I'll see you at five.

61
00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:48,780
So that's one example.

62
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,020
However, there are conferences in this particular conference.

63
00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:55,780
We all went, it was a conference we all attended.

64
00:03:55,780 --> 00:03:59,540
And so there are opportunities that you do get to do that.

65
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:04,020
And so we're all attending, we all have different things that we're participating in.

66
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:08,820
As part of this conference, it feels like we're all kind of, I'm able to be engaged,

67
00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:13,500
where it doesn't feel like I'm splitting my time and attention, but creating space for

68
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:18,300
a conference depends on the kind of conference, but it's like you're actually making time

69
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:23,740
to do it, where you're able to fully engage in all the benefits of the conference.

70
00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:25,540
And what are the benefits of conferences?

71
00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:31,540
So I think I've talked about this in a prior episode where it's like the benefit of the

72
00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:34,540
conference is not just all the things you learn.

73
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:37,660
Definitely you should go to learn, but it's not just about learning.

74
00:04:37,660 --> 00:04:40,900
It's about the connections that you make as well.

75
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:46,500
And it's about kind of the combination of information and connection that makes conferences

76
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:48,660
really beautiful, really powerful.

77
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:51,340
For whatever reason, they have staying power, right?

78
00:04:51,340 --> 00:04:52,860
Conferences have been around for a long time.

79
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:58,180
They can continue to be around because they are really important, vital, and in-person

80
00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:04,740
conferences are going to continue to be around because the vitality of making amazing connections

81
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:11,500
in person is still relevant and also learning in person is still relevant because of course

82
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:16,100
you can do virtual learning, but there is something powerful about taking time away

83
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:20,180
to really immerse yourself in a learning environment where you're able to learn new things and

84
00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:23,180
also make connections in the process of learning as well.

85
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:25,460
And so conferences are really important.

86
00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:27,020
They're really great spaces.

87
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:30,940
And if you're really going to maximize the benefit that you're getting out of them, you're

88
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:34,860
really going to want to make sure you're creating space physically, mentally, and emotionally

89
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:38,540
as well so that you can get the maximum benefit from the conference.

90
00:05:38,540 --> 00:05:44,440
So that's the first thing is to create space to actually attend and maximize your benefit

91
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,780
from the conference.

92
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:46,780
Okay.

93
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:49,020
Number two is to have a plan.

94
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:51,580
Now there are different kinds of conferences.

95
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:55,860
For example, our annual meeting conference in the American Society of Kinoetology is

96
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:56,860
huge.

97
00:05:56,860 --> 00:06:01,340
And you see how there are so many options as far as things to attend.

98
00:06:01,340 --> 00:06:05,180
And then there are smaller conferences for me, that's Team Station and Therumbosis Research

99
00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:09,020
Society where there is a limited number of things that you can attend.

100
00:06:09,020 --> 00:06:13,420
There are not that many simultaneous sessions where you're attending more than one at the

101
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:18,300
same time or where there are conflicts and you're like, well, I have to attend this one,

102
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,260
but I can't go to that one.

103
00:06:20,260 --> 00:06:23,860
So there are smaller conferences where it's a little bit easier.

104
00:06:23,860 --> 00:06:27,220
Everything is more straightforward because there's not that much to plan.

105
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:31,860
And then there are conferences that are smaller still where it's like there are just a couple

106
00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:32,860
of sessions.

107
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,100
And so it depends on the conference.

108
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:37,780
But for the most part, you can still plan.

109
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:42,260
It may make more sense to really sit down and do some planning for a huge conference

110
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:46,420
like the American Society of Kinoetology conference where you have to plan which sessions you're

111
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:51,420
going to miss, which sessions you're going to catch later on the recorded sessions.

112
00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:54,460
You really, really have to plan if you're going to be successful.

113
00:06:54,460 --> 00:06:58,260
But in general, you're going to want to plan because you want to make sure that you maximize

114
00:06:58,260 --> 00:06:59,980
your investment.

115
00:06:59,980 --> 00:07:03,300
Presumably you paid for this conference or even if you haven't, you've taken time off

116
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:08,820
work or you've made an investment and actually paid to travel to the location of the conference.

117
00:07:08,820 --> 00:07:14,860
So an investment of time and resources has been made in this conference.

118
00:07:14,860 --> 00:07:17,460
You really want to make sure that you maximize it.

119
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:20,980
And part of that is planning, what do I want to get out of this?

120
00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:23,740
Where do I need to show up so I can get what I need?

121
00:07:23,740 --> 00:07:28,500
Now you're thinking also you want to plan what sessions you attend so that you can learn.

122
00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:34,500
But it's also you want to plan what opportunities you have to connect with people so that you

123
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:40,140
can maximize the value of connections with people as part of what you get out of the

124
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:41,140
conference.

125
00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:42,140
Okay.

126
00:07:42,140 --> 00:07:44,980
So you want to make sure that you have a plan for where you're going to be, where you're

127
00:07:44,980 --> 00:07:49,020
going to go, what you're going to learn, but also who you're going to meet.

128
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:50,020
Have a plan.

129
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:51,740
Now here's the thing about plans.

130
00:07:51,740 --> 00:07:55,300
The beautiful thing about plans is that the value is in the planning, not necessarily

131
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:56,940
in the plans themselves.

132
00:07:56,940 --> 00:08:01,300
And so you may ultimately say, oh, I made all these plans and now I'm throwing away

133
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:02,300
all my plans.

134
00:08:02,300 --> 00:08:03,380
Great.

135
00:08:03,380 --> 00:08:08,060
Because the value of the plan is that you've been thoughtful rather than that you have

136
00:08:08,060 --> 00:08:11,540
a plan because your plan may need to change and it's okay.

137
00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:15,800
Your job is to be flexible with your plans, not to feel like you are committed to this

138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,100
plan no matter come hell or high water, I'm committed to these plans.

139
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:25,100
Now the purpose of the plans is to allow you to be thoughtful and reflective about how

140
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:26,660
you want to move forward.

141
00:08:26,660 --> 00:08:30,460
It's not so that you become a slave to the plans and are not able to adjust them.

142
00:08:30,460 --> 00:08:35,020
So yes, have a plan for what you will attend and also have a plan for what you're not going

143
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:36,020
to attend.

144
00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:38,900
And this is important because sometimes it can be overwhelming and you feel like you

145
00:08:38,900 --> 00:08:41,380
need to be everywhere, but you don't.

146
00:08:41,380 --> 00:08:46,060
Have a plan for the things you're saying, I'm not going to this.

147
00:08:46,060 --> 00:08:50,740
So it's very clear when your best friend shows up and says, hey, can we go to this?

148
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:55,660
You're like, oh, I already decided I'm not going to this one, but let's meet at the end.

149
00:08:55,660 --> 00:09:01,460
So you are able to be very clear upfront when you're sober and intentional about what you're

150
00:09:01,460 --> 00:09:03,260
going to be at and what you're not going to be at.

151
00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:04,260
All right.

152
00:09:04,260 --> 00:09:05,580
So have a plan.

153
00:09:05,580 --> 00:09:10,860
Number three is that you want to create space, rest and reflection.

154
00:09:10,860 --> 00:09:11,860
Okay.

155
00:09:11,860 --> 00:09:16,100
So you're attending this conference or back to back to back sessions and this dinner,

156
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:20,740
that dinner, this meeting, that meeting, and they are all great, but there really does

157
00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:27,860
need to be space for you to unwind and reflect on what you're learning and make the connections

158
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:31,580
that or at least follow up the connections that you've made.

159
00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:33,380
There is need for rest and reflection.

160
00:09:33,380 --> 00:09:38,620
And part of that is to consolidate what you're learning is to consolidate the experience

161
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:42,020
because have you ever been to a conference where it feels like a blur?

162
00:09:42,020 --> 00:09:45,180
You move from one conference and then you come back into the next thing, into the next

163
00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:48,180
thing and then it's like, wait a minute, what did I even learn?

164
00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:50,780
What came out of that conference for me?

165
00:09:50,780 --> 00:09:56,660
And so you want to, even in the midst of the conference, have space to see how the conference

166
00:09:56,660 --> 00:10:01,460
is benefiting you, have space to recognize the connections you've made, have space to

167
00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:04,220
follow up those connections that you've made.

168
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:09,500
So you want to please do what you can to create white space within conferences.

169
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:14,460
One of the ways I do that is to go to most conferences really without my family so that

170
00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:19,260
there is space for me to make the connections that are needed without feeling like I need

171
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:21,860
to go and attend to their needs.

172
00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:26,180
And then to come back from the conference, just be by myself where I unwind and rest

173
00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:30,620
and get an extended nap or sleep in in the mornings.

174
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:37,620
But it's important to create space to rest within the extended and busy time of a conference.

175
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:42,140
Then what you also want to do, number four, is to create space to be with people.

176
00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:44,140
Create space for people.

177
00:10:44,140 --> 00:10:48,860
Some of the most amazing things that come out of conferences is just the ability to

178
00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:54,980
connect with other people, the ability for people to get together and say, hey, let's

179
00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:57,060
just have time to sit and chat.

180
00:10:57,060 --> 00:10:59,940
And it's like, oh wait, the next session is starting in 10 minutes.

181
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:02,620
I don't have 10 minutes, but you do.

182
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:04,380
The sessions can always be caught.

183
00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:07,820
The knowledge in the session can always come to you in a different way.

184
00:11:07,820 --> 00:11:12,840
But the connections you make with people are really serendipitous and they don't always

185
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,020
come back.

186
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:18,060
So recognize the opportunity of people.

187
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:24,000
Recognize that people, most of the time, actually, to be honest, all the time will matter more

188
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
than content.

189
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,860
I just want to say that one more time.

190
00:11:27,860 --> 00:11:34,460
Most of the time, and I would dare say 100% of the time, people matter more than content.

191
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:38,180
So where you're like, OK, should I choose between making a connection with this new

192
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:43,020
person who sounds interesting and exciting versus going to the session so I can get some

193
00:11:43,020 --> 00:11:44,700
content?

194
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:47,220
Always choose the connection with people.

195
00:11:47,220 --> 00:11:50,660
You will always win.

196
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:51,960
Content you can get later.

197
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,380
You can get a different format.

198
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:57,500
You can pay for it and get the on-demand view and revisit it again.

199
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:59,980
But connections are valuable.

200
00:11:59,980 --> 00:12:02,400
Connections are time sensitive.

201
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,780
Connections are just kind of unique and they're opportunities that come and go.

202
00:12:07,780 --> 00:12:13,820
So create space in your schedule for people and be ready to shift things so that you can

203
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:16,660
accommodate connections with people.

204
00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:19,380
And by connections, I'm not just talking about networking, though.

205
00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:21,980
That almost sometimes sounds like a bad word, like networking.

206
00:12:21,980 --> 00:12:24,500
Oh, no, I have to do that.

207
00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:29,620
Which is recognizing when you see your old friend from med school, your old friend from

208
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:33,140
residency and you're like, oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in a long time.

209
00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:34,140
What's going on?

210
00:12:34,140 --> 00:12:35,980
And you sit and you count up, right?

211
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:36,980
That's not scary.

212
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:37,980
That's pretty straightforward.

213
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:43,140
But it's like, do you have space within your schedule to be able to take advantage of that

214
00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:46,640
opportunity of people you haven't seen for a long time?

215
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,640
Or are you too scheduled?

216
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,400
Where it's like, I wish I could talk to you, but I have this meeting with this pharmacy

217
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,780
representative that I need to go to.

218
00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:57,500
I'm so sorry I can't talk to you.

219
00:12:57,500 --> 00:13:01,620
You want to make sure that you're creating enough space in your schedule so that when

220
00:13:01,620 --> 00:13:07,860
the opportunity comes to connect with a long lost friend or to make a connection with someone

221
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:10,380
new that you're able to do that.

222
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:14,660
So number four is create space for connecting with people.

223
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:16,660
Number five is follow up.

224
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:18,060
You've made all these great connections.

225
00:13:18,060 --> 00:13:19,820
You've learned these great things.

226
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:22,180
And now it's time to follow up.

227
00:13:22,180 --> 00:13:27,220
Say to someone, hey, we met at the conference three weeks ago.

228
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:30,260
Thanks for your thoughts about XYZ.

229
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:33,880
And I would love to stay connected and can we blah, blah, blah.

230
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,780
So you want to make sure that you close the loop on those conversations that you had.

231
00:13:38,780 --> 00:13:43,060
And sometimes you may look back and say, oh, there was a slope I wish I had closed, but

232
00:13:43,060 --> 00:13:44,060
that was three months ago.

233
00:13:44,060 --> 00:13:45,660
It's now too late.

234
00:13:45,660 --> 00:13:50,640
Can I just tell you that it's never too late to close the loop?

235
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,900
It's never too late to reconnect with someone.

236
00:13:52,900 --> 00:13:56,820
It's never too late to say, hey, we met and I just want to say hello.

237
00:13:56,820 --> 00:13:58,180
It's just never too late.

238
00:13:58,180 --> 00:14:02,100
And one of the beautiful, beautiful things about humans is that we love connection.

239
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:06,620
We love connecting with people and we certainly love to connect with people who remember us.

240
00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:10,620
So generally you want to follow up and especially you want to follow up the connections that

241
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:11,620
you've made with people.

242
00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:15,780
You want to follow up the knowledge that you've learned as well so that you can consolidate

243
00:14:15,780 --> 00:14:16,780
it.

244
00:14:16,780 --> 00:14:20,580
You want to read your notes, maybe rewatch the session, but what you want to do is make

245
00:14:20,580 --> 00:14:25,380
sure that you can come back and consolidate all that beautiful knowledge that you acquired

246
00:14:25,380 --> 00:14:33,260
or consolidate those relationships that started or collaborations that started or new ideas

247
00:14:33,260 --> 00:14:34,580
that was sparked.

248
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:36,860
You want to go back and you want to follow up on those.

249
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:37,860
Okay.

250
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:39,300
So that was a short one, five things.

251
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,060
Create space to attend the conference.

252
00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:45,060
Have a plan for what you need to attend and what you will sit out.

253
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:50,620
Create plenty, but number three, create plenty of white space for rest and reflection.

254
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:54,180
Number four, also create space for connecting with people.

255
00:14:54,180 --> 00:14:55,180
And number five, follow up.

256
00:14:55,180 --> 00:14:56,180
Follow up with people.

257
00:14:56,180 --> 00:14:57,180
Follow up with what you've learned.

258
00:14:57,180 --> 00:14:58,180
All right.

259
00:14:58,180 --> 00:15:00,680
It's been a pleasure talking with you today.

260
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,940
Thank you so much for tuning in and I look forward to talking with you again next time

261
00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:09,940
on the Clinician Researcher podcast.

262
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:14,780
Have a great day.

263
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:20,140
Thanks for listening to this episode of the Clinician Researcher podcast where academic

264
00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:25,580
clinicians learn the skills to build their own research program, whether or not they

265
00:15:25,580 --> 00:15:26,940
have a mentor.

266
00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:32,900
If you found the information in this episode to be helpful, don't keep it all to yourself.

267
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:34,780
Someone else needs to hear it.

268
00:15:34,780 --> 00:15:38,820
So take a minute right now and share it.

269
00:15:38,820 --> 00:15:44,300
As you share this episode, you become part of our mission to help launch a new generation
