And can effective mentorship be learned?\nIn this episode of Stat Speaking with JMP, we had the joy of speaking with Dr. Suzanne Barbour, Dean of The Graduate School and Vice Provost for Graduate Education at Duke University. Together, Barbour and JMP’s Anne Milley explore how mentorship shapes scientists, leaders, and the culture of STEM as a whole. \nBarbour shares the story of the mentor who recognized her potential before she could see it herself. She also explains why strong mentoring depends on more than good intentions: It requires clear expectations, honest communication and an understanding of what helps people develop competence, autonomy, and a sense of belonging.\nTheir conversation explores:\n• Why a single mentoring style does not work for everyone.\n • How mentors can help emerging scientists build confidence and independence.\n • Why students need a network of mentors.\n • How scientists can learn from failure without being defined by it.\n • What experienced leaders can learn from the next generation.\n • How AI and rapid change are reshaping leadership in STEM.\n • Why mentorship should be treated as an ecosystem, not simply a one-to-one relationship.\nWhether you are a mentor, mentee, educator, researcher, or leader, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at how we can better support the people – and shape the scientific culture – coming after us.\nSubscribe to Stat Speaking with JMP for more conversations with experts who are shaping our world.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/02hEltK2tUCHtifhG9D-4Rhvlpjz8opR0jG289653Zk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wMzdl/OTMxZDU4ZGNiZWJj/NjMzNjU4OWQ3Mzk1/Nzc2ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
