      Don't be that guy who interrupts someone's presentation to start an argument. Even if the presenter is wrong! There's a Q&A session at the end! Also losing your temper makes it awkward for everyone!

      At a conf recently, someone raised their hand mid presentation and the presenter politely called on them. Dude asks multiple questions, then someone else asks one, starting w/ “since it’s Q&A time…” Three more questions later and I’m just baffled. Presenter was like halfway done

      That is the norm in economics.

          That Amy Cuddy is the psychologist quoted here colours the story a bit!

          Replying to @backus @tylercowen and

          We in applied ev psych actually discussed holding a conf w/Alex Tabarrok & Tyler Cowen--still may be proposed to you guys. Ev psych is a much more feisty discipline than social psych. Vociferous arguments in conf sessions/post keynote Q&A, & it's normal - not hurt feelz territory

          The people they quote are Cuddy and Gilbert who were both later in the eye of the storm of the psych reproducibility crisis (cuddy even moreso)
