14. Mentor Labs: Mentorship Demystified WISEST STEM Podcast

    • Science

Welcome back to the WISEST STEM podcast, where we feature interviews with experts, researchers, educators, and enthusiasts who share their knowledge and experiences about STEM education and careers. Tune in for each episode as we delve into the latest in STEM— from cutting-edge research to the remarkable stories of trailblazing women and gender-diverse folks making their mark. 

For the next few episodes, we will be in the Mentor Lab. The Mentor Lab is a space where we share stories that reveal the science of the world around us and explore the relationships that make us who we are. 

In this audio-only episode (watch for upcoming video podcasts), we will talk with Noor Al-Zanoon (she/her). Noor is a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta and a head and neck cancer rehabilitation researcher. Noor was a senior business partner with Alberta Innovates until recently, leading health research and innovation programming to build talent. Noor was a co-chair at WISER, a network of WISEST and a group of passionate STEM professionals. UA-WiSE, a student group at Ualberta, and WISER come together to create a community comprised of individuals in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics involved in government, academia, and industry whose primary goal is to support the advancement of women and under-represented groups in these fields. 

Best of all, Noor is an excellent storyteller and avid volunteer. Please tune in while we discuss what it means to be a good mentor, mentee, and passionate STEM professional.
