Oral Observations: Mentoring

I think as mentors at UB, our approach to scientific thought processes is our strength; we emphasize higher-order reasoning as an essential part of an approach to a problem.  If A doesn’t happen, is B a likely choice?  How do we as scientists view our research in a larger context?  Students can learn techniques in many labs, but in Oral Biology we encourage students to think about their work in a way that develops better researchers and scientists.
