A concise guide to contacting Owl Lab

Join Us

Before contacting Owl Lab, take some time to understand our research and how we work together.

ReadThinkExplain

01

Read

Begin with Research to understand the questions we study, and Notebook to understand how we think, work, and grow together.

Recommended reading on writing an introductory email →

02

Think

Consider why Owl Lab specifically interests you, what you have actually done and learned, and which questions you genuinely want to understand next.

A research proposal is not required for the initial email. If both sides wish to continue the conversation, you may later be invited to read relevant literature, develop the question, and prepare a formal proposal.

03

Explain

Write a concise, specific email that explains who you are, why you are contacting Owl Lab, what you have done, what currently interests you, and one point in the Notebook that you agree with, question, or disagree with—and why.
