In this episode we discuss one of our favorite subjects, how to build community within your graduate student team. 

Things we talk about include:

• Setting expectations from day one to help students understand the importance of teamwork
• Creating group challenges with fun rewards to drive productivity and team building
• Praising teamwork when it happens
• My Life in a Paper Bag team learning exercise

One resource Mary talks about is a chemistry professor she follows on Twitter who often has great mentoring advice. She's Jen Heemstra. https://twitter.com/jenheemstra
