During your initial meetings, consider asking the following questions to ensure a good fit:
1. Research Focus: What are your current research projects, and how do you see them evolving? 2. Mentorship Style: How do you typically work with your mentees? What is your approach to mentorship? 3. Time Commitment: How much time can you realistically dedicate to mentoring? 4. Opportunities for Collaboration: Are there opportunities for me to collaborate on your projects? 5. Career Development: How can you support my career development? Are there specific skills or areas you think I should focus on?
