> It's like writing a letter vs having a phone call. This is the way. If you adopt the same communication style as the old scientists (euler?), you’d get a lot done. You write clear, detailed requests, responses, and notices and the delays with the back and forth won't matter that much. Maybe that's why most of the scientists we know of have been people with good communication skills. Then schedule meeting with a clear agenda when synchronous collaboration is needed.
