Abstract

Considers the importance of mentoring in physical, chemical, and social sciences research. Discusses the mentoring program of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) which focuses on helping women and minority scientists. Describes mentoring as "typically an asymmetrical power relation but it is not entirely unidimensional in flow of sources." (Contains 21 references.) (Author/YDS)
