23. Challenges • Jet lag • Walking • Tea vs. coffee • Flushing • Language • Transportation • Intensity of research • Desire for US money • Starry, starry eyes! • Reporting, catch-up

24. Recommendations • Do it! • Start with a holiday – get over it! • Recruit specific researchers in advance • Be prepared to read, before, during and after • Consider it a two-year event • Utilize videoconferencing in advance – Oklahoma is unique and folks do not know how to utilize our systems easily.

25. Fun!
