In this episode, Kenzie and Mona chat with Karen Naufel of Georgia Southern University. Listen as she shares her experiences mentoring and being mentored. We discuss ways to have structured but casual mentoring (coffee anyone?) and her impactful Rocky Mountain Psychological Association keynote on the ethics of research mentorship. We delve into the risks that research assistants face, the need for researchers (and not just participants) to have informed consent, and ways mentors and RAs can improve the research process and lab culture.
