This recognition really belongs to them. They have been instrumental in making me the mentor I am today,\u201d says Chalasani, a member of Salk\u2019s Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory. \u201cSTEM careers often require one to navigate multiple stages successfully. Each of these stages are also very competitive, thus making mentorship critical to the entire journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chalasani advises potential mentors to trust their instincts; be flexible; consistent; and true to their own values.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mentorship is a serious matter,\u201d he adds. \u201cYou don&#8217;t turn on being a mentor on Monday and then turn it off on Tuesday. You have to be a mentor continuously, seven days a week, 365 days a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information about NPA and the award, visit www.nationalpostdoc.org.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":20584,"template":"","faculty":[77],"disease-research":[279,124],"class_list":["post-30476","disclosure","type-disclosure","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","faculty-sreekanth-chalasani","disease-research-awards","disease-research-neuroscience-and-neurological-disorders"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Salk\u2019s Sreekanth Chalasani wins 2021 NPA Gallagher Mentor Award - Salk Institute for Biological Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salk.edu\/es\/news-release\/salks-sreekanth-chalasani-wins-2021-npa-gallagher-mentor-award\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_MX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salk\u2019s Sreekanth Chalasani wins 2021 NPA Gallagher Mentor Award - Salk Institute for Biological Studies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"LA JOLLA\u2014Salk Associate Professor Sreekanth Chalasani has won the 2021 National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) Gallagher Mentor Award.
