Lightship's Entree - mauriceling/mauriceling.github.io GitHub Wiki

Eight years since the honorary fellowship
Another opportunity to contribute
Arises as STEM mentorship
Masters student from Taiwan
Of bioinformaticist’s attributes
Timing is uncanny
Just when the lightship anchors
Beacon cast in amber
In time to look back today
This will be the entree

Commentary: Today is my first online meeting with my mentee, under University of Melbourne’s STEM mentorship program. He’s a masters student from Taiwan, a biologist by undergraduate training in Taiwan, and is now pursuing a Masters in Bioinformatics in University of Melbourne. The lightship (me) is anchored, beacons on; and shine… Whoever needs me will come; otherwise, I just shine.

It has been 8 years since my honorary fellowship with University of Melbourne expires. Hence, I see this as an opportunity for my contribution to my alma mater and the scientific community at large.
