More and more these days, agricultural scientists travel to far-away countries to gain knowledge that can benefit us all.

Last time we checked, they don't really ride spaceships or giant grasshoppers. But some of them ride elephants!

Scientists with the Agricultural Research Service often "commute" overseas to get to work. Check out these examples:

• Nepal and India: elephants, canoes, rhinos and—eek!—leeches
• Australia: looking for a few good bugs
• France: scientific gateway to voyages in search of Mother Nature's pest controls
