You might want to re-think your engagement strategies.I've recently come across some quite appalling behaviour from academics who literally refused to even acknowledge an email after I left some things for them. Fortunately, they were just rocks of no particular value (which they asked for) ... but they had asked for them, before I got them ... so very strange behaviour. I have found that this year in particularly academics are behaving very strangely and not even responding to very polite emails just looking for people with an interest in niche subjects.
Based on my own experience, I would wait till next year in the hope that things improve ... or maybe they'll all be on strike!
Oh the grand oh Duke Suetonius, he had a Roman legion, he galloped rushed down to (a minor settlement called) Londinium then he galloped rushed back again. Londinium Bridge is falling down, falling down ... HOLD IT ... change of plans, we're leaving the bridge for Boudica and galloping rushing north.
