 My best tip for building your professional network around here is really to find people who are alike and also different. I got to know a lot of Australians through the clubs that I've joined and in university and we have had great conversations. While I was in Australia we participated in scientific conferences and during those conferences I get a chance to interact with other scientists and researchers and now we are developing a research project idea which can be implemented in East Africa. I've been able to build a network in my religious community, my children's school community and the junior rugby league community. In terms of building network I would say you need to take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way whether it's data collection or a social function where you can meet someone new. I would say just have fun and go out there and experience new things and don't be afraid to take a risk or meet new people.
