Although I find meaning in classroom teaching, in many ways, collaborating, learning from, and mentoring others brings a different type of joy and satisfaction. I have been fortunate to mentor a lot of very talented people. It’s especially gratifying to see how well they’ve fared, and to have had a role in their scholarly development!
Here are a few examples from the post-docs, graduate students, and undergraduates with whom I’ve had the pleasure and honor of working:
