I have been very impressed by the energy of OKF Brazil. I have also taken this as an honour - and it gives the opportunity to try new ideas. My own emphasis has been on science and we have been able to set up Panton Fellowships as a way of getting people who have new ideas themselves to make important contributions. We'd love to see Panton Fellowships in Brazil, for example - and it would be very much up to Brazil what direction they might take.
