I loved the cohort that we had. It was obvious that we all got along well and truly cared about how each other's research projects were going. Not only would we brainstorm troubleshooting together but we'd also congratulate each other's accomplishments and be honestly curious about what everyone was working on. I think that building a cohesive cohort was a major reason this summer was so successful in my eyes.
