One day after I started postdoc work last week, I was told that I am co-mentoring a summer intern starting that day. Earlier today, I was told that there will be another summer intern for me next week.
It's kind of strange to start work with mentoring interns, because I did not expect to have any opportunities for teaching science at my new work place. It's not that I am complaining--I think I secretly like teaching science (well, I guess it's not secret any more) as long as I feel comfortable with the subjects. As an undergrad, I had my own tutoring classes for chemistry and physics on weekends. When I was in graduate student, I had to oversee five rotation students and one summer student. So I am not new to this area, but I really have to figure out a way to manage my time at work to have these interns happy while I focus on my research work.
The contents of this blog is supposed to be non-work related, but I have been writing work related stuff lately... Sorry, I will try to put some photos next time. :D
