Mentorship works best when we stop expecting one person to do all the mentoring. We talk about needing "a mentor," singular. But a better model is constellation mentoring: a set of relationships that together give us what we need, shifting as we do. We all need a constellation!

Can the human brain provide the reference architecture for more human-like AI? Coming out of discussions at the PL Neuro Connectomics Workshop last month, Moritz Helmstaedter details a 10-year, $10–20B technical path to map every synapse in the human brain. Read more: zenodo.org/records/1973...

One of the most valuable things trainees can see is how scientists think through uncertainty. We do this each year at #MPMD. Each PI brings a question instead of a talk—and we work through it together. I hope others consider this format created by Simona Ghetti, hosted this year by Jeni Pathman.
