thatscientists, including doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers, learned new ways to interact withcolleagues, improved their interpersonal skills, and expanded their knowledge of career opportunitiesrelated to teaching. In addition, they cited an improved ability to communicate research to non-scientists,greater confidence and qualifications for seeking a faculty position, and a realization of their role as rolemodel. Such evidence suggests an unexplored, bi-directional relationship among all participants in a RETresearch laboratory.Using developmental network theory, a framework that recognizes the potential for mentoring to involvemultiple mentors and for each relationship to be bidirectional in its forms of support, this study sought
