The 2019 finalists of the TDR Global Mentorship Contest for improving research mentorship in low- and middle-income countries joined us to share their experiences implementing their respective projects. We had:
Dr. Ana Maria Aguilar also discussed the pivotal shift in her community-based mentoring project in Bolivia. Her project initially focused on creating a horizontal style, participatory community mentor program, but shifted to focus on meeting the needs of the community. They began working with a community that had used herbal packages as an approach to bridge the distrust between the health sector and the local community. Connect with Ana Maria on ResearchGate.

Skills Lab: Leadership
Saison 2 · Épisode 3
mercredi 15 septembre 2021 • Durée 39:27
Leadership might be fulfilling, but it is not easy: Our guests Marcia Philbin and Stephen Baker talk about some of the challenges they face as leaders and what skills and factors helped them succeed.
Marcia Philbin’s Jamaican parents believed in the transformative power of education. For Marcia, this is the reason she is now a black female scientist with a PhD in chemistry, the Chief Executive of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. @Mphil22M @FacultyFarmMed
Stephen Baker is Director of Research For Global Health in the Department of Medicine at the University of Cambridge and Honorary Faculty at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. He is a molecular epidemiologist whose career has focused on understanding how infectious disease in people in low-middle income countries evolve and spread.

More about the Decoding Life podcast
We have assembled interviews from some of the most amazing people around the Wellcome Genome Campus to find out about their paths into science. From PhD students to group leaders, software developers to diversity champions, we get a first-hand account of what it is really like to do some of these jobs and learn some interesting science along the way. We have some incredible insights about life in science, for example, coming back after an 8 year break, why it's important to inspire young girls to code, and making mentorship and training accessible.
In reverse mentoring, find someone who is different from you, has a different background and has different perspectives.
Aim to build a mutual connection as mentor and mentee, firstly creating a sense of psychological safety which enables open and honest dialogue
Reverse mentorship approach empowers people with skills to effectively engage in sensitive topics such as racism and facilitates discussions with the right audiences who have the power to do something about it.
A mentor supports the organisation through the person they are mentoring, bringing awareness to unspoken nuances which could help to refine organisational initiatives and policies for promoting positive behaviours and culture.
Reverse mentoring is a rewarding experience to learn, educate and feed forward. If you get a reverse mentorship opportunity - go for it!

Decolonising Global Health
Saison 1 · Épisode 10
mercredi 25 novembre 2020 • Durée 57:17
Takeaways from today's episode:
Decolonising global health is an ongoing movement allowing people (and researchers) to provide a local context in the conversations surrounding health.
Though many definitions exist, it is based on the undoing of the colonial legacy that surrounds countries in the global south.
Local health is global health - a local context is required to make it global.
It is important to reflect on issues on decolonising global health to avoid neo-colonization and include diverse voices from the global south to spearhead the movement.
It is not just about putting a researcher from the global south on the paper to get round publication guidelines and funders. It’s not about a tick-box exercise.
The conversation needs to address power imbalances in funding, teaching or accessibility to learning resources. Investment in these areas can start to close the gaps.
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, written articles expected the global south to fail. But if we had diverse voices published and circulated en masse, the world would have known that the global south has always dealt with infectious outbreaks and the global north could have learnt some lessons from countries in the global south.
