Mentoring: Reflections and Suggestions

Abstract
I have been enormously lucky in my 58 years of working with students and postdocs. A great many members of the Gray Nation have been successful in careers in academia, industry, and government. Mark Wrighton, one of my first Caltech students, just retired from his position as Chancellor at Washington University St. Louis. (See the accompanying editorial, DOI 10.1021/acscentsci.9b00841.) Mark made transformational changes at WUSTL during his 24-year tenure. Five others also have led major universities, and over a hundred are provosts, deans, and professors in the USA, Canada, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. Can I take credit for their contributions to the science enterprise? Did my mentoring make a difference? I would like to think so!
