It is my goal to provide the students in the program with an overview of what a career in research entails and to accompany them in their paths to become good researchers. I pay particular attention and provide the necessary support to my mentees for them to develop critical thinking, scientific rigor and transparency. In this process, I also hope to transfer to the students my motivation, energy and enthusiasm to study the Human Brain which I am so passionate about.

Specific mentoring activities that will be offered are:

• One-on-one meetings to discuss the students' individual development plan (research/career goals and how to reach them)
• Direct supervision and training for the acquisition and analyses of behavioral and brain imaging data
• Direct supervision for the development of writing and presentation skills (scientific abstract and poster presentation)
• Integration in a research team including students from different backgrounds and at different levels of their academic careers
