Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are critical to scientific research. The research environments in which they work and learn, however, do not always address their mental, financial, and social well-being or facilitate their full ability to develop professionally and contribute to the STEMM research ecosystem.

Working from both theoretical and practitioner-based perspectives, the Roundtable on Mentorship, Well-being, and Professional Development will seek out examples of improvements and innovations in supportive services and effective mentorship to ultimately catalyze the creation of a more inclusive and equitable higher education and STEMM research ecosystem.
