I recently graduated in my lab and found myself in my home (Asian) country, and in a new field. I am excited to kick start my own research lab. I feel like the problems that people in my country are working on are not interesting to me. So I'm looking to collaborate with researchers abroad.
I want to discuss specifically how to generate new research collaborations ONLINE. Has anyone successfully done this? I know of ways such as asking my former advisors for recommendations (which didn't produce anything useful since he and I are in different fields now) or attending a conference (I can go only once a year due to budget limitation, which is not enough). I want to know of some online venues where I can go to find collaborators and discuss whenever I have an idea (because it's 2016 and it should be possible!) Please advise if you have experience.
