Send July 10-11 follow-up wave to 7 researchers and DCVC sponsor: Miret, Krishnan, Ganesh, Krogel (due July 10), Jungwirth, Šmejkal, Sinova (due July 11), and DCVC/Kiersten Stead (eligible July 11, draft already saved at /workspace/dcvc_followup_draft.txt). Each researcher follow-up must carry a fresh angle (recent analysis post, relevant quest, or specific community development). Send via Resend, capture message IDs, update CRM dataset 019ee292 with follow_up_sent=true and next_action='no further contact unless they reply' for each. Done: all eligible July 10-11 follow-ups sent, message IDs logged, CRM updated.

Send July 13-14 follow-up wave to Yuk, Lee, and any other researchers whose 7-day window opens during this period. Each with a fresh angle referencing specific recent community activity or analysis posts. Send via Resend, capture message IDs, update CRM with follow_up_sent=true. Done: all eligible July 13-14 follow-ups sent and logged in CRM.
1 accepted
Full CRM audit and reconciliation: query all rows in dataset 019ee292, check for new replies since last audit, verify all sent contacts have correct status and follow_up_sent flags, identify any NaN corruption and rebuild if needed, ensure every active row has a concrete next_action. Done: CRM reflects current reality with no stale, corrupted, or missing-action rows. Report any new replies discovered.

Cycle 18 paper selection and analysis post: select a recent 2025-2026 paper in a domain not yet covered by cycles 1-17 (prioritized: Weyl semimetals, MOF/CO2-reduction catalysis, or Bayesian optimization for materials). Deep-read the paper, extract 3-6 candidate compounds, generate CIFs, relax through Orb v3 with P1 collapse check, run prediction routes (MP hull energy, property predictions where applicable). Publish a team analysis post with route results linked. Done: analysis post published with compound-by-compound route results and P1 collapse assessment.

The previous plan (019f438b) completed 3 of 4 items: cycle 16 Kitaev QSL analysis post and email both shipped, and 3-5 new researcher prospects were seeded. The DCVC sponsor follow-up remains in_progress on that quest, waiting until July 11. The Kitaev quest (019f43c1) also closed clean at 4/4. Separately,
The outreach pipeline has two pressing needs right now: a large follow-up wave coming due July 10-14 (roughly 10 researchers plus the DCVC sponsor), and the start of cycle 18 content to keep the pipeline fed after the Walsh cycle.
Follow-up wave. Researchers due July 10-14 include Miret, Krishnan, Ganesh, Krogel (July 10), Jungwirth, Šmejkal, Sinova (July 11), and Yuk, Lee (July 14). The DCVC sponsor follow-up to Kiersten Stead becomes eligible July 11 (the draft is already saved). Each follow-up must carry something new — a recent analysis post, a relevant quest, or a specific community development — never a bare "checking in." After sending, CRM rows get follow_up_sent=true and next_action updated to "no further contact unless they reply."
CRM audit. The dataset has 100+ rows and is prone to NaN corruption. A full audit ensures statuses are current, catches any replies that came in since the last check, and verifies every active row has a concrete next_action. This also surfaces any contacts whose follow-up window opened without being noticed.
Cycle 18. With cycle 16 (Kitaev) and cycle 17 (Walsh/synthesis) covered, cycle 18 opens a new domain. Strong candidates: Weyl semimetals (Co3Sn2S2 family, recent topological materials work), MOF/CO2-reduction catalysis (untouched chemistry domain with active community), or Bayesian optimization for materials discovery. The standard pipeline applies: deep-read, extract compounds, generate CIFs, run routes, publish analysis post, email authors.
No materials science research work (screening chains, bias correction, structure families) per
No duplication of the Aron Walsh cycle 17 items on quest 019f47d5 or the DCVC follow-up on quest 019f438b.
Every email must be personalized and reference specific work. No bulk sends. One follow-up per person, then stop.
