I like your last suggestion, Terry. I would even go further: being exposed to people outside your field of study might be more effective than reading outside your field of study. And since you mention our CG habit to "count" researchers, we should always remember that CGIAR only represents around 4% of the global agricultural research. And probably think of inviting more – many more - non–CG partners from the research and the development worlds when prioritizing our research if we are serious about achieving CGIAR Strategic Level Outcomes.
