During their studies, most PhD students experience mentorship from both the mentee and mentor perspectives. First and foremost, PhD students are mentees of their PhD supervisor, who guides their research and professional development, and, thus, has a decisive impact on the success of a PhD. On the other hand, PhD students are often teaching bachelor’s or master’s students, acting as (short-term) mentors during their first practical research experiences. Since mentoring is such an integral part of a PhD, the yPC Editorial Team asked Dr. Ramona Thalinger and Dr. Kirill Monakhov for perspectives and advice on mentoring.
