We need to stop giving automatic authority to people with PhDs and MDs (think of all the books out there with pseudoscience hiding behind these letters trailing the author's name).
Again, CRITIQUE THE CONTENT.
CRITIQUE THE MOTIVE.
CRITIQUE THE IMPACT.

I feel mentoring is very similar to gardening. You cannot transform tomatoes into egg plants (so there is nothing PIs can do about who they are), but you can nurture them so that tomatoes grow to be good tomato plants... So, PIs job is not to mess up with the talent.

Excited to get a phone call yesterday from @Space_Station from @Astro_Feustel! Reminisced about my old home, #ISS. He sent this photo of the gulf region too. I’m the shiny dot in #AbuDhabi.
