Mentorship can transform more than your academic journey. It can change the way you think, lead and make an impact. 🔬💬 Sara Simmons, a PhD student in medical microbiology and immunology, credits her mentor, Jason Bartz, PhD, with helping her develop the critical thinking, ethical responsibility and creative drive she brings to her research every day. "He empowers us to think ethically, critically and in new ways about the science we're performing," she says. 💡 Sara's work focuses on how prion diseases, which are uniformly fatal, can spread from contaminated surfaces. Through research and mentorship, she is building a future defined by innovation, compassion and a commitment to serving others. 🤝 #CreightonGrad #ResearchAtCreighton #MentorshipMatters
