You’re not alone if the science career path feels unclear—especially as a new faculty member. @jenheemstra’s book is here to help you find direction. ✨ This book is the mentor every early-career scientist needs. #STEMCareers #AcademicLife #SciMentor.
First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.
