Abstract:
:Mentoring in academia is often carried out in an informal way depending on individuals and circumstances. I was quite fortunate to make the acquaintance of Professor E.E. Daniel when I was making a transition from my research in entomology to biomedical sciences. Here I recount some of that experience, and describe some of the lessons I have learned from this experience, as my tribute to Dr. Daniel on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
