Good question! Some and growing I think

A second People, Parasites, and Plagues podcast shout out to Mariel Pfeifer for her qualitative characterization of researcher identity!

Don't use feedback from a single student about a single mentor to make evaluative judgments about that mentor. Rather, use results from the MURS to identify consistent patterns over time or broader trends to make decisions about how to support mentors to improve. For resources: cimerproject.org

Do you direct an undergraduate research program? Consider using the whole MURS or its dimensions to characterize the mentoring experiences of undergraduates in your programs. Then use the results to identify areas of mentoring strength and support mentors in making improvements.

Our paper presents robust evidence regarding the validity of the MURS, showing that sum scores on the MURS and scores on its dimensions can be used to evaluate undergraduate researchers’ mentoring experiences.

Good news = most ugrads experience positive research mentoring. Bad news = ugrads experience negative mentoring. ⬇️ MURS ~ ⬇️ post-research scientific self-efficacy, scientific identity, research task values, and research career intentions, after controlling for pre-research levels.

The MURS spans the range of mentoring experienced by undergraduate researchers– from positive mentoring experiences such as technical and psychosocial support to negative experiences with mentors such as mentor inaccessibility and abusive supervision.
