Mentoring is a developmental experience intended to increase the willingness to learn and establish credibility while building positive relationships through networking. In this commentary, we focus on intentional mentoring for underrepresented mentees, including individuals that belong to minority racial, ethnic and gender identity groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM) fields. Intentional mentoring is the superpower action necessary for developing harmony and comprehending the purpose and value of the mentor/mentee relationship. Regardless of a mentor's career stage, we believe the strategies discussed may be used to create a supportive and constructive mentorship environment; thereby improving the retention rates of underrepresented mentees within the scientific community.

有意指导：最大限度地发挥代表性不足的未来科学家在 21 世纪的影响

指导是一种发展经验，旨在提高学习意愿和建立信誉，同时通过网络建立积极的关系。在本评论中，我们专注于对代表性不足的学员进行有意识的指导，包括在科学、技术、工程、数学和医学 (STEMM) 领域属于少数种族、民族和性别认同群体的个人。有意指导是发展和谐和理解导师/被指导者关系的目的和价值所必需的超级大国行动。无论导师处于何种职业阶段，我们相信所讨论的策略可用于创建支持性和建设性的导师环境；从而提高科学界中代表性不足的学员的保留率。
