title: Lessons from a red squirrel, mentors, and the pathway to success.
abstract: In this article I will review my personal career path starting with how a red squirrel got me interested in research, and the vital role that mentors played in my pathway to success - a pathway that taught me many lessons that I would like to share with the reader, particularly graduate students and post-doctoral fellows who are just starting down their own unique pathways.
