They may not be the most famous person in the field, but you want someone willing to spend time with you and talk you through the details. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. We all care as physicians, but are you willing to do extra for a patient? Because that really matters. Build a working relationship, build a team you will be collaborating with. It cannot be a one-person show. To approach a specific disease, we need researchers, a bio mathematician, data scientists, and all the lab people. Utilize what you have at the institution. Build your village around you.
