At the community service event, I noticed people forming instant connections with some of their teammates, and even other research fellows. It was very surprising to find that building a bike actually built stronger relationships.
After much trial and error, our team finally learned the proper way to hurl a rubber chicken through a hula-hoop! That'll be a huge resumé booster! Besides that, I learned that different perspectives are needed to gain a better understanding of many team oriented tasks. Yes, I think it would have been easier to assemble the bike alone, but then none of us would have gotten such a well hidden opportunity to learn from one another.
I can't really apply my chicken sling shot skills to my research, but I can definitely take more time to learn from and work with other lab mates.
