In the letter I stated that I am a former researcher at the Pasteur Institute, did mouse lifespan tests, I am in contact with the authors of the paper, and have starting with a few mice at home. The answers I've had were quite respectful in that regards, so... I don't know. It is true that otherwise it was an email coming from nowhere. That's why I think that the key thing is to use our existing contacts, otherwise it may sound like spam.Most likely it's because you don't have the credentials to be doing this
Well, that does sound impressive enough.
