The role of scientific communication skills in research career development goes beyond the production of written and spoken artifacts and plays a foundational role in the establishment of professional identity, in this case identity as a scientist. Our research has found that the acquisition of written and spoken scientific communication skills plays a significant role in shaping both trainees' identity and their intentions to persist in independent research careers, as well as in increasing their overall productivity. The current phase of the project, a longitudinal mentor-trainee dyad-based survey, will elucidate the role of mentoring in fostering, with the goal of developing evidence-based interventions. Other research interests include publication ethics and responsible conduct of research, especially with respect to unintentional plagiarism, and the development of core competencies for interdisciplinary research.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Associate Professor Epidemiology MD Anderson Cancer Center
