Summary:	"After we get our Ph.D.s and launch our academic careers, our first focus is on ourselves: to get a job, and to secure that job. How do we thrive as an individual faculty member? The most important human systems are those closest to us: our research mentors and group members, and then our new colleagues in an academic department"--
