The elements that create a successful career in science extend well beyond what is captured in any chemist’s CV or resume. Valerie S. Ashby is dean of the Trinity College of Arts & Sciences and professor of Chemistry at Duke University. In this talk, she will share how the consistent and meaningful encouragement that she received from three key mentors aided her progression through her studies and continued well into her professional life. Those lessons grounded her in core principles that shape how she leads and mentors to this day.<br/>
