Anybody have similar advice for cold emailing professors/researchers?
I never had any luck emailing professors whose lectures are on youtube for book recommendations or researchers in a field where I'm looking for something similar to what they study.
- kriro 10y agoThe best advice for very busy professors is to find the correct researcher working on their team (scan papers for the one that seems to be coauthor in the field you want to ask about). Most of the time it'll get delegated to them either way and if it's interesting enough it'll eventually reach the professors.
