Cold Mail Guide

Most emails get ignored not because your profile is bad, but

because it is not leveraged to perfection.

How you present your work is as important as what you do.

This guide exists to fix that gap. You are expected to actively

think, reflect, and apply the framework to your own profiles

and target labs. The workbook should be completed slowly

and thoughtfully. The quality of the email depends on the

quality of the thinking done here.

Before starting:

(a) you should read the lab’s website and at least one paper

or project description.

(b) Have a realistic understanding of their own skills and

limitations.

(c) Be willing to prioritize clarity and honesty over

exaggeration.
