Making the transition from mentored researcher to independent investigator requires things your mentors can help you with and things they can't. In this episode, I break down what this transition actually asks of you, where mentoring is really beneficial, and where even the best mentors hit a limit. I share stories from three graduates who had outstanding mentorship and still needed something more to develop the clarity, self-trust, and judgment this career stage demands. If you have great mentors and you still feel stuck, this one's for you.Interested in joining the next cohort of K to R Essentials? Join the waitlist at https://sarahdobson.co/k2r
