Mentoring future leaders

Mentoring Kate Kohn, a San Marino high school student, for her Girl Scout Gold Award on breast cancer awareness was a rewarding experience. On her visit, my research team introduced her to breast cancer research in our lab. Our subsequent conversations focused on helping her navigate scientific literature to create outreach materials to educate her community and spread awareness about breast cancer. Her dedication was inspiring, reinforcing the power of mentorship in fostering future leaders.

I hope that supporting young advocates in science and research can create a lasting impact!
