As a mentor he focuses on clarity of thought and effective communication. For over three decades, Roy has cultivated a lab culture focused on the development of curiosity, rigor, and scientific integrity for his trainees. He advocates for the development of a broad skill set by graduate students during their training (2012 Mol Cell 46:377) while recognizing that every mentee is an individual who needs their own personalized approach. Dr. Parker is well known for his guidance and sponsorship - always willing to provide input into the scientific direction one should take, while also stimulating individuals to take their own path. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Parker on this well-deserved recognition of his exceptional contributions to cultivating the next generation of RNA scientists."
