At first I was not keen on the idea because I predicted alot of unfair responsibility shifting, a general disorganization, no agreements, ..., basically ....too many cooks in the kitchen"...However, our team found answers in each other that we could not find in ourselves, support in getting things done instead of shifting responsibility, and often a fairly organized way of doing things... We also found that it was important for everyone in the group to understand everything about the lab, so everyone can add in when writing up the results together...

More ideas and different opinions are absorbed. Time is efficiently used. Research is spread out and someone always knows something someone else doesn't.
