Apprenticeship and Mentoring

Content

Alone, one gains neither wisdom nor expertise. Only by working closely with those who share their experience can graduate students and postdocs hope to fulfill their goals of research and mission of clinical benefit. The mentors of the CDD are committed to working with and teaching their proteges. Learning from others requires more than mastery of technique; it includes an inquiry to the why and not just the how of things. Implicit in this mindset is the realization that the pursuit of scientific research is not a matter of following of techniques as much as it is a philosophical inquisition.

Perhaps an example will best illustrate: It is not enough to know how a cell meets its demise through apoptosis. Why do some cells die via a set of programmed instruction? Can one discuss the benefits of the many over that of the one in cellular terms?
