First, although everyone I\u2019m working with speaks excellent English, some words are not commonly used in either language, so we spend quite a bit of time describing\u00a0an object or idea because we can\u2019t even remember the word in our own language!\u00a0For example, I couldn\u2019t\u00a0remember the\u00a0English word for this little object:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"It\u2019s a nut\" class=\"center\" data-file_info=\"%7B%22fid%22:%227973%22,%22view_mode%22:%22default%22,%22fields%22:%7B%22format%22:%22default%22,%22field_file_image_alt_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22It%E2%80%99s%20a%20nut%22,%22field_file_image_title_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22It%E2%80%99s%20a%20nut%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Btextfield%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_image_tags%5Bund%5D%5Bvalue_field%5D%22:%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%5C%22%22%7D,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D\" src=\"http:\/\/insights.cactusglobal.com\/sites\/default\/files\/1_31.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"It\u2019s a nut\" \/><br \/><strong><em>It\u2019s a nut<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">\u2026so I went around calling it by its Swedish word, <i>mutter<\/i>, for days!

This can make\u00a0describing my educational background a tad confusing!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">There are also some cultural differences that take adjusting to. One that I quite enjoy, and would like to start up in the US, is a mid-morning and\/or mid-afternoon coffee\/tea and cookie break, called <i>fika<\/i>. It is quite a wonderful tradition! However wonderful it is, though, it is a bit at odds with my workaholic tendencies \u2013 I have to stop my work to sit down and have coffee?!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I\u2019ve also faced several logistical issues, including ordering and shipping of \u2018hazardous\u2019 laboratory materials, the fact that cheques are almost never used in Europe anymore, and that credit cards should have chips and PIN codes in addition to\u00a0magnetic strips and signatures. These issues are relatively easy to resolve and not major, but I am lucky that\u00a0I haven\u2019t encountered anything more problematic.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0cm 0cm 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">I think I am probably\u00a0less thrown off by some of these minor, but pervasive, differences because I am a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Third_culture_kid\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\">third culture kid<\/a>. I can imagine that for other researchers, especially those who\u00a0work across a broader cultural gap than the American-Swedish one I\u2019m describing here, the challenges\u00a0may be daunting. However, the scientific problems facing our world are global. Working with people from different perspectives\u00a0helps us ask better questions and shows us new perspectives, and there are funding incentives to working with international collaborators. I\u2019ve really enjoyed\u00a0my time working with the people here in Sweden, and I know that I am building a global network of scientists while collecting some cool data. I highly recommend international collaborations, despite the (minor, in my case) challenges.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>Sarah Flannagan (<u><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sarahpf19\" style=\"color:blue; text-decoration:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@sarahpf19<\/a><\/u><\/i><i>) is a Lecturer at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.
