If you follow up on their take with "great, let's get brainstorming" then they're probably rolling their eyes and feeling a bit misled - they expressed interest in collaborating on the unspoken assumption that you had a project in mind. Usually you come up with the idea first - then contact collaborators because they do something you need to complete the project. | |

| Aug 11, 2015 at 0:41 | comment | added | Paul Julian | Thank you all for your responses...I am by no means being naive and completely understand the demands placed on researchers and professors. I am very research oriented...so @paul garrett I understand where your coming from. I realize that a random email to someone I don't personally know could be somewhat off putting. However several instances have been of me applying for positions in their lab and not able to go/accept position due to funding restrictions (labs are out of the country). After an exchange of emails I offered a collaboration and things go silent. Just wanted some feedback. | |
