New PI q: What do you do with potential political differences? Esp w/ ppl from opposing countries.
China vs West is one thing, and another is countries at war now (& allies). Ideally I would like people to be able to talk about life/politics, but lab harmony is important.

It’s important to be there for them as a mentor but also maintain professional boundaries.
