The problem I've learned is even if you are trying to be a good advisor, the system often works against those interests. We should make every effort to mitigate bad mentorship, but you also have to accept that you can't fix it all.

Overheard at the store this weekend:

Two women on the phone via speaker.

Woman in the store: "I'm not sure either....but they're on sale!!"

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy โ€” in this case, that vaccines save lives โ€” and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

I have a former student who asked me to be listed as a letter writer for entrance into grad programs. I said yes. They told me they applied to 15-20 programs! Wish me luck!
