Abstract

One of the most important means by which we can share our enthusiasm for structural science is our mentorship of trainees. Our trainees at all levels gain more than just technical skills from the time we spend with them; they develop their own appreciation and excitement for structural science that they then can spread through their connections and contacts. We play an important role, through our mentorship, in encouraging that excitement, fostering inquiry, and passing on that excitement to others. We often recount where our enthusiasm began, with one or more professors, mentors and/or colleagues whose excitement was infectious and helped us along our own professional journey and development of our own mentorship philosophies. In the current article, I outline how several mentors, including Professors Michael James, Louis Delbaere, Wilson Quail, and others, instilled that excitement for structural science in me and provided examples from which I have developed my perspective on mentorship and how we can pay it forward, supporting and instilling excitement in our trainees.

通过指导分享我们对结构科学的兴奋。
我们可以分享我们对结构科学的热情的最重要的手段之一是我们对学员的指导。从我们与学员相处的时间里,我们所有层次的学员获得的不仅仅是技术技能;他们培养了自己对结构科学的欣赏和兴奋,然后他们可以通过他们的联系和接触传播。我们扮演着重要的角色,通过我们的指导,鼓励这种兴奋,培养探究,并将这种兴奋传递给其他人。我们经常回忆起我们的热情是从哪里开始的,一个或多个教授、导师和/或同事,他们的热情是有感染力的,在我们自己的职业生涯中帮助我们,帮助我们发展自己的导师哲学。在这篇文章中,我概述了几位导师,包括Michael James教授、Louis Delbaere教授、Wilson Quail教授和其他人,是如何给我灌输对结构科学的热情的,并提供了一些例子,从这些例子中我形成了我对导师的看法,以及我们如何将其传递出去,支持并灌输给我们的学员这种热情。

期刊介绍: Structural Dynamics focuses on the recent developments in experimental and theoretical methods and techniques that allow a visualization of the electronic and geometric structural changes in real time of chemical, biological, and condensed-matter systems. The community of scientists and engineers working on structural dynamics in such diverse systems often use similar instrumentation and methods. The journal welcomes articles dealing with fundamental problems of electronic and structural dynamics that are tackled by new methods, such as: Time-resolved X-ray and electron diffraction and scattering, Coherent diffractive imaging, Time-resolved X-ray spectroscopies (absorption, emission, resonant inelastic scattering, etc.), Time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and electron microscopy, Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies (UPS, XPS, ARPES, etc.), Multidimensional spectroscopies in the infrared, the visible and the ultraviolet, Nonlinear spectroscopies in the VUV, the soft and the hard X-ray domains, Theory and computational methods and algorithms for the analysis and description of structuraldynamics and their associated experimental signals. These new methods are enabled by new instrumentation, such as: X-ray free electron lasers, which provide flux, coherence, and time resolution, New sources of ultrashort electron pulses, New sources of ultrashort vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to hard X-ray pulses, such as high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources or plasma-based sources, New sources of ultrashort infrared and terahertz (THz) radiation, New detectors for X-rays and electrons, New sample handling and delivery schemes, New computational capabilities.
