Hilsabeck, Amy Jak, Michelle R. Madore, Luis D. Medina, Neil H. Pliskin, George Prigatano, Yakeel T. Quiroz, Lisa Jane Rapport, Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe, Anthony Y. Stringer, Julie Suhr, Daniel Tranel, Elizabeth W. Twamley, Steven Paul Woods, and Keith Owen Yeates discuss their first-hand experiences and practical advice related to formal/informal mentoring and supervising, with a particular focus on women and underrepresented peoples.
