Abstract
This commentary reflects on the importance of mentoring in science education. It is written from the perspective of a geneticist and historian of science, but its implications extend to many other fields. A lineage of mentoring is traced from the author's educational experience back through several centuries in the form of an intellectual pedigree.
期刊介绍:
The subject areas of Reviews in Mutation Research encompass the entire spectrum of the science of mutation research and its applications, with particular emphasis on the relationship between mutation and disease. Thus this section will cover advances in human genome research (including evolving technologies for mutation detection and functional genomics) with applications in clinical genetics, gene therapy and health risk assessment for environmental agents of concern.
