Mentor relationships can be formal, or informal, you can seek peer mentors, or you can obtain mentoring via workshops, like this one. Other tips included the recommendation to publish, publish, publish&#8230;.and then publish some more. It&#8217;s a key contributor to your future success, and you can&#8217;t lose focus on the metrics that keep us all in an Academic career. Further, Fiona herself demonstrates that moving research fields post-PhD is not a career killer. Some of the characteristics she credits for her success to date include building your own &#8216;brand&#8217;, saying yes to opportunities, and putting yourself out there &#8211; sometimes that&#8217;s uncomfortable, but do it anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For those who couldn&#8217;t attend in person, Dr Bright kindly has agreed to share the slides from the presentation.
