Thirteen talented early-career scientists will receive Simons Foundation support as they transition from mentored training to independent research positions through our Independence Awards programs. Congratulations to all our 2024 fellows! simonsfoundation.org/2024/08/15/sim… #science
If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research. You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.
