Mentorship roles can sound like a big personal responsibility and can be overwhelming for new mentors. To support our mentors in this program, we will offer training, topic-based guided discussions and opportunity for social interaction over 4 calls during the mentorship round:
In the mentor training, our mentors will then gain mentoring skills (active listening, effective questioning, giving feedback), learn to celebrate successes and gain confidence on navigating challenges in mentoring.
A dedicated slack channel will facilitate open discussions among mentors to help them discuss their experiences, challenges and tips and tricks (contact the team if you are not yet on this channel).
Experts are invited to join cohort calls or individual mentorship calls to share their experience and expertise during the program.
We thank the 46 persons who registered to be experts in this round.

I divide my time between data analysis to understand the smallest components of matter, instrumentation R&D, and science and education capacity building programs to build the next generation of scientists in Latin America. I am an advocate for virtual research and learning communities as a way to strengthen scientific connections between Europe and Latin America.
I studied psychology in my undergraduate degree (University of Queensland, Australia) and cognitive neuroscience in my postgraduate degree (Queensland Brain Institute, Australia). Throughout my PhD, I became increasingly disillusioned at the state of academia – particularly the scholarly publishing system – and decided I would rather devote my career to reforming academia than pursuing my research interests (which include consciousness, meditation, attention, and prediction). To this end, I joined IGDORE and founded Project Free Our Knowledge, a conditional pledge platform that seeks to increase the adoption of open and reproducible research practices through collective action.

My research group studies how organisms respond to their environment, focusing on molecular mechanisms used by fungi. We collect and analyze genome-scale datasets to understand how fungi dynamically reorganize their RNA and protein to adapt to environmental change. We also produce open-science software tools, including tidyqpcr for quantitative PCR analysis in the tidyverse, and riboviz for ribosome profiling analysis. Both of these packages are going through software review and I’m learning a lot from the process. Alongside my research, I’m an open science advocate and teach data literacy to scientists, working with The Carpentries and Edinburgh Carpentries.

Esther works as a Data Steward at Delft University of Technology (Faculty of Applied Sciences) in the Netherlands. As a Data Steward she supports researchers with their data/code management and with sharing their research. Before this, Esther did a PhD in bioanthropology, studying the isotopic composition of human teeth to determine where they grew up.
My research group studies how organisms respond to their environment, focusing on molecular mechanisms used by fungi. We collect and analyze genome-scale datasets to understand how fungi dynamically reorganize their RNA and protein to adapt to environmental change. We also produce open-science software tools, including tidyqpcr for quantitative PCR analysis in the tidyverse, and riboviz for ribosome profiling analysis. Both of these packages are going through software review and I’m learning a lot from the process. Alongside my research, I’m an open science advocate and teach data literacy to scientists, working with The Carpentries and Edinburgh Carpentries.

To this end, I joined IGDORE and founded Project Free Our Knowledge, a conditional pledge platform that seeks to increase the adoption of open and reproducible research practices through collective action.
