NEW: a column in the Times argues that the only way to tackle obesity is through fat shaming (yes, you read that right). Itโ€™s an astonishing argument to make, and unsurprisingly it falls to pieces under scrutiny. Letโ€™s take a look, and see if we can do better:

Because unfortunately many trainees rely on mentors that have treated them badly, harassed, or abused them. Their previous mentors often have a lot of power, especially if they are on their reference lists. I have endured toxic mentorship because I needed it and it sucks.

Highly recommend the NIH Intramural Summer Internship Program (and subprograms)! If you apply, make sure to reach out to NIH PIs you're interested in working with. Send a quick intro email and ask them to take a look at the SIP application portal if interested training.nih.gov/programs/sip

Cultural mentorship training is needed in academia. Anecdotally, Iโ€™ve heard of/witnessed countless PIโ€™s assume their Black mentees are angry (when that mentee is really depressed) then work to punish said mentee for not acting how they think they shouldโ€ฆ journals.lww.com/nursingresearcโ€ฆ
