Dr. Jo Handelsman is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University. Research in the Handelsman lab focuses on understanding the structure and function of microbial communities. She has served as a highly effective mentor of undergraduates and graduate students in her research lab, launching many faculty careers from among her students. Beyond her own research lab, Handelsman has mentored many women and minority faculty and students nationally and internationally. Dr. Handelsman's goals are to produce students who bring confidence, rigor, and ethical values to the range of scientific activities - experimental design, analysis, and communication. Dr. Handelsman co-founded the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI), an NSF-funded initiative to study and address the barriers to advancement of women in science. In this role, she developed programs that have strong mentoring components that have led to campus-wide changes. While at the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Handelsman developed a mentoring course and an accompanying book that are used to teach mentoring at more than 64 universities in the United States. The Wisconsin Mentoring Seminar is an 8-session course intended to help mentors improve their skills through reading, discussion, brainstorming, and mutual support with other mentors. She extended this work to women in Arab countries through a State Department initiative to advance women in science in Islamic countries. Her work on the "science of mentoring" has been used as the basis for mentoring programs for women and minorities at all levels of academic science. She continues to be a hands-on mentor while extending her mentoring hand to a global community of women and other underrepresented groups.

Jo Handelsman博士是耶鲁大学分子、细胞和发育生物学系的霍华德休斯医学研究所教授。 Handelsman实验室的研究重点是了解微生物群落的结构和功能。她曾担任本科生和研究生在她的研究实验室的一个非常有效的导师，从她的学生中推出了许多教师的职业生涯。除了她自己的研究实验室，汉德尔斯曼已经指导了许多妇女和少数民族教师和学生在国内和国际。Handelsman的目标是培养学生谁带来信心，严谨性和道德价值观的科学活动的范围-实验设计，分析和沟通。Handelsman博士共同创立了妇女在科学和工程领导研究所（WISELI），一个NSF资助的倡议，研究和解决妇女在科学进步的障碍。在这个角色中，她开发了具有强大指导组件的程序，这些组件导致了校园范围的变化。在威斯康星州大学期间，Handelsman博士开发了一门辅导课程和一本配套书籍，用于在美国超过64所大学教授辅导课程。威斯康星州导师研讨会是一个8节课程，旨在帮助导师提高他们的技能，通过阅读，讨论，头脑风暴，并与其他导师相互支持。她通过国务院促进伊斯兰国家妇女参与科学的倡议，将这项工作扩大到阿拉伯国家的妇女。她在“指导科学”方面的工作已被用作各级学术科学中妇女和少数民族指导计划的基础。她继续是一个动手的导师，同时将她的指导之手延伸到妇女和其他代表性不足的群体的全球社区。
