I spent time this past month thinking about how to evaluate whether I was a good advisor.
I realized it wasn’t just modeling myself after my mentors - who were amazing advisors.
It meant adapting and growing with the changing population of #phdstudents.
It meant doing so, so that i understood how to manage and motivate PhD students.
So that I can better prepare them for #academiclife and equip them with the tools needed to survive academic life.
I do so, because more than becoming an advisor like my mentors.
I want to grow into the advisor that I wanted - in tune enough with modern life and tough enough to teach your students how to navigate the good and bad of academic life.
