So they are reading each others work, reviewing it and talking about it.
And this has to be in person how? And how much more work would be done if it was asynchronous?
You know how many scientists in various fields work remotely?
There are fields where work has to take place where you are, for example you can't do archaeology from afar. But you can meet with archaeologists all over the world to discuss findings. And a huge portion of that work is done by reading the papers. So most of the collaboration is clarification and questioning anyways.
No. they discuss it. in a group. person to person. with other researchers from across the country and practitioners, and lawyers, and drug makers.
just like they do their studies involve 100s and 1000s of people.
Just to clarify are you saying they discuss things with 100s and 1000's of people? or are you just mentioning that the studies involve hundreds or thousands of people?
If they are meeting in the 100's or 1000's, then YES they are wasting time and socializing.
