STEM Tea | Building mentoring networks with Christina Termini
In the first episode of STEM Tea, we provide an introduction to the series and our host, the enigmatic Antentor Othrell Hinton Jr, Assistant Professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at Vanderbilt University (TN, USA), and learn more about his mission to improve the state of mentoring and DEAI in STEM.
In this episode, Antentor dives into a conversation with Christina Termini, Assistant Professor at the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center (CA, USA) about mentoring practices, LatinX representation in STEM and the role that scientific societies, such as the American Society of Cell Biology, can play in the development of their members.
