Lessons Learned
• Build your network to include fresh ideas
– Multidisciplinarity biases toward collaboration
• Aim for recurring face to face contact
– Limited group, but not static or exclusive
– If you organize it, they will come!
• Push participation of young investigators
– Design specific opportunities for them
• Serendipity happens
