Description
Tamara Baker reflects on her path through a mentoring program for aging research in a 2024 piece. The program, called RCMAR, was built to train early-career scientists in social and behavioral research on aging. It aims to grow rigorous work, cut health gaps, and improve life for older adults. Baker joined as a scientist in the program and later became an alumna.
She describes what the program gave her: career coaching, skill building, feedback, and a wide professional network. That support helped her build a research line on social factors and chronic pain in older adults. She also became an advocate for a more diverse research workforce and a leader in her field. Her account is offered to draw new scientists into the program. She frames the experience as both meaningful and rewarding.
