I was honored with the 2015 IAC travel award and used the funds to attend the European Science Education Research Association (ESERA 2015 ) conference in Helsinki, Finland. The ESERA conference format allowed for oral presentations and audience discussion participation after the session concluded.  This experience gave me a new appreciate on the many different ways to perform science education research and learn new ideas about research collaboration. Specifically, the ESERA symposia presentation format allowed an entire session to be devoted to a single multi-country project.  Attending the series of in-depth discussions, I learned more about collaboration with many different colleagues and cultures, what type of research is best suited to a large scale project, and what common problems that may occur with projects on that scale. <br/>
