More important, I hope there will be more people like him who is really committed to leading young scientists in a right way - 'right' meaning not just projecting one's philosophy on another, but listening to student's philosophy and giving advice based on individual's point of view. Unfortunately, even in one of the largest and prestigious institutions, such a mentor is rare. Also, this is closely related to an issue of effective communication. I believe that this can be improved and I have called for solution to this issue on my blog. I hope there will be more professors like Dr. Yewdell who has a great insight on working in academia.

It is very good. One important thing is also "luck". "Luck" in most cases comes from the ability to chose the right project and therefore, from experience. I have started reading this article.
