I do not reply to individual emails asking for advice, mentoring, a meeting, feedback on a draft or an application, or help getting started in a method. This is a standing policy rather than a judgment about any particular message, and it holds however carefully the message is written.
Almost everything people write to ask is already written down. My notes for prospective PhD mentees cover whether I am taking students, what a close research fit looks like, how advisor matching actually works, funding, and how to strengthen an application. My guide to computational methods for social work research covers coursework, summer institutes, Python or R, first projects, data access, and where this work is published. If your question is answered on either page, that page is my answer.
Email is the right route for an invited talk or workshop, a specific collaboration with a question and data already in view, editorial and media requests, and questions about one of my published papers.
