Let's Connect!
With a title quite self-explanatory, this tag is made with the intentions to connect researchers according to three different aspects:

Regional: Any plans on developing a research idea but require a helping hand from someone in a similar area with you? Find a research buddy through this subtag!
Research interest: Eager to find someone with the same research interests? Try this feature out!
Competency: Are you just starting out in the research world and would like to find a mentor? Or are you a seasoned researcher finding someone of different expertise to collaborate with! Use this connection feature, based on competency!

Hope you can find who you're looking for! 😄

Emmy Hi Emmy. I understand you want to find a mentor. Finding a mentor can really be a challenging task, however, here are some tips:

Explore LinkedIn: use special keywords to search for profiles of professionals who are into the field. Follow them and interact with their posts. If you find it necessary to professionally message, then, go ahead. They might be happy to help.
Subscribe to newsletters and blogs that talk about that field. Newsletters are a great way to get updates on the current trends of most fields.
Read reviews articles from journals. Reviews provide overview and summary of the current state of research in a field. You may also subscribe to their newsletters too. Note: some journals have very specific scope around a particular topic, e.g Journal of clinical epidemiology, Journal of Pharmacy Practice etc, they're not too generic. You may find journals that publish papers about that specific field and subtopics under such filed
YouTube: Honestly, I have visited YouTube more frequently to quickly learn about concepts recently. It's a great resource, and if you learn better through visuals, you'd find it an even much more greater resource.

I hope this helps.

Regards🥂

I'm a pharmacology researcher eager to collaborate on research papers. If you're working on a project that aligns with my expertise, I'd love to explore potential collaboration opportunities. Let's exchange knowledge and ideas to create impactful research together.
