As you know, when you are working on a science-based project, there is a multitude of moving parts and potentially many hands in the kitchen. For this reason, tools for clear team communication are essential. There are many options for communication software and messaging applications. Give the interviewer a brief overview of the apps you are experienced in and assure them that you can learn their internal system, should it be new to you.

Most of my experience stems from my time in university when I would need to connect to group members while doing a project and/or staying connected with professors.
Amanda's Feedback
Technology use is prevalent even at the university level. You can give this response more impact by talking about the technology or tools you've used to stay connected with peers or professors such as closed group messaging apps, social media, online learning platforms, etc. These could include apps include Slack, platforms like Blackboard, or social tools like Marco Polo.
