Abstract
We as Black trainees in neuroscience and co-founders of Black In Neuro wrote this open letter to thank the phenomenal mentors who came before us. We also aim to encourage and give advice to future mentors on how to effectively mentor the next generation of Black researchers. In this open letter, co-founders of the Black In Neuro initiative thank previous mentors and advise future mentors on how to effectively encourage the next generation of Black researchers.Keywords
