So if YOU'RE designing AI tools for learners, consider:
✅Personality tone (warm vs competent)
✅Role of feedback (reflective vs directive)✅Autonomy (let students choose)
A chatbot's emotional tone isn't superficial - it shapes how students learn

What worked best? 🤔

A balance.

Avatars that combined warmth & competence were rated highest in trust and perceived learning support.

Students want both: to feel heard & to be guided.

@atsmeded.bsky.social @atsearlycareer.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social

Students don’t just want correct answers - they want support that matches the moment.

→ Use warmth for emotional safety & reflective learning
→ Use competence for focused, goal-driven tasks

You can’t do it all. . . and you *shouldn’t*. Great mentors know when to refer, connect, & collaborate. Encourage mentees to build a network (not rely on one person). And don’t forget: YOU still need mentors, too.

Nested mentoring strengthens YOU. . . and the whole system.

Effective mentorship begins with clarity:

→ Set expectations early
→ Invite mentee input
→ Co-create goals

A strong mentoring alliance is built on trust, shared values, & honest communication. There’s no “I” in mentor.

#FacultyDevelopment #MedicalEducation #MedEd @atsmeded.bsky.social

Your past mentoring experiences - good & bad - are tools. Reflect: What worked? What didn’t? What did you need as a mentee? Transitions (like becoming a mentor) are ideal moments to pause, learn, & reshape your professional identity with intention.

@harvardmed.bsky.social

Early career MDs often feel unprepared but peer & near-peer mentorship is powerful. Shared experiences foster trust, collaboration, & psychological safety - for both mentor & mentee. Say "yes" (authentically) to mentorship opportunities to grow into the role.

💡 Takeaway: Aging populations face loneliness & multimorbidity, interventions like gardening may be more than hobbies - they may be low-cost, evidence-based tools for preventive care. Worth keeping in mind as we teach & design health systems.

🌿 Mechanisms likely include:

Moderate physical activity

Mindfulness & attentional restoration

Social interaction

Increased consumption of home-grown produce

Gardening may support both physical and emotional well-being through multiple pathways.

🧠🫀 The findings align with larger studies:

Gardening has been tied to improved mental health, chronic disease outcomes, and cardiovascular health.

Even during lockdowns, time spent gardening correlated with mental resilience.

@govsingapore.bsky.social #gardening

📍 In a door-to-door survey of 386 residents:

Daily gardeners had 43% lower odds of anxiety, health limitations, or both.

Among adults aged ≥53, daily gardening was linked to a 59% lower risk of health limitations.

Benefits were age-dependent.
