The LMB has been running regular mentoring sessions for students and postdocs to support them in progressing their scientific careers. This photo for day 248 of #LMB365 was taken at a recent lunch held by our Deputy Director Mariann Bienz where discussions included how to come up with a vision for your own research programme as a future group leader, what to look out for when choosing a host institute or department and how to combine running your own group with bringing up children.
