Prof. Maynard was commended for the exceptional quality and dedication of his mentorship. He intentionally designs his research program to optimize students’ development (e.g., gradually increasing the students’ responsibility to match their growing skills and supporting them throughout). In this way, students on his team are engaged in all phases of a research project and treated them as true collaborators.
