“Dr. Dan Wolf's mentorship and insights have been valuable and nurturing in supporting my early career. Through personal meetings and getting together at conferences like ACNP, we have discussed a range of topics including starting a lab, applying for early funding, managing teams, and juggling work and life. Dan is open, honest, and truly cares about seeing us succeed. It's also just a lot of fun to talk about science and share our joint journeys through academic psychiatry. I feel comforted knowing CDI has built in and values such a great mentoring network. The CDI mentor/mentee program builds a community where we all have each other's backs to support our individual growth and in promoting further mentoring circles. I value and look forward to working with Dan throughout my career.”

“I have enjoyed meeting with Jason over the past 2 years both by zoom and in person at ACNP, I think/hope I have been helpful to him as he has navigated his transition from pre-K award instructor to post-K award assistant professor, and our conversations have been enriched by shared scientific interests in dopaminergic neuron/circuit function with Jason focused on animal models and my own work in imaging, both of us with translational interests as practicing psychiatrists.”
