    This, surely it’s more usual? The first time I ever reached out the person sent me three recent articles and an invitation to let them know when/where my research was published, even though it wasn’t relevant to their discipline.

    I was a lowly grad student and he was a senior academic with his own lab. I’d heard of his research because it was mentioned in a science documentary on tv, and the whole experience really gave me a happy feeling.

    I can see why [email protected] only did it the one time after the experience they had, though.
