Peer group formation in a COVID19 world.

Our latest paper entitled “Self-selecting peer groups formed
within the laboratory environment have a lasting effect on individual student
attainment and working practices” has just been published in FEBS
Open Bio. We explore how peer groups form and the influence this has on the final
attainment of the students. The paper was researched and written long before
COVID19 was even a thing, yet the conclusions hold valuable lessons for new students and the start of a socially distanced teaching year.
