McMahon, C.M; Choquette, K.A.; Stieber, SCE; Gray, E.E. Remote Supergroup for Chemistry Undergraduates: An Inclusive Scientific Community for Primarily Undergraduate Institutions. J. Chem Ed. 2022, 9, 3187-3195.

With student surveys from the 2020-2021 RSCU sessions we were able to publish on the findings of developing a community among summer PUI researchers; and how community impacts their identity and learning within a scientific community.
