    I'm sick of going to talks where the speaker gets interrupted 5+ times for somebody/ies else to share their stream of consciousness questions. If it's a seminar for outside your lab, make it accessible by letting the speaker explain their slides in order without interruptions.

        Don't invite them if you'd rather give a talk yourself. Don't invite them if you can't manage the audience. And certainly don't invite people from outside your lab, who aren't zoomed into questions or feel like it's "just a chat", people who came to listen to the speaker not you.

        I've said this countless times on Twitter but it's so important and so often overlooked. People in the audience didn't come to listen to the people asking questions. They came to listen to the advertised talk.

        I basically never ask questions in talks because of this.

        To be clear, questions are great but they have a specific time slot for a reason. To allow the speaker and the audience to go on a specific journey. If you keep trying to take the wheel by interrupting the speaker that's robbing the audience.

        Also most of the questions will probably be answered on the next slide! 😂

        Interupting talks is abelist af. I had multiple carely planned talks derailed by senior men during my PhD. They just can't resist a chance to show off

        I genuinely can't follow the talk. Like I just struggle so much.

        There is an interesting "break the dam" effect too. It starts with one person going "ooh, just a quick clarification question", and after that it seems that everyone suddenly also feels entitled to start asking questions.

        I love interruptions. At IU's cognitive lunch, if you weren't ready to be interrupted, you shouldn't present. Interruptions are a sign of interest, means the audience isn't on their phone checking email. @dramyhc

        As a speaker it makes no difference to me, as an audience member, I can't follow.

        I don't think it's appropriate unless the speaker explicitly invited intra-talk questions, and even then use some discretion; the speaker isn't there to have a conversation with you

        People seem uniformly disapproving of those who yell out questions in movie theaters (again, questions often answered in the next shot or scene). Talks shouldn't be any different.

        If no interaction is desired then it may be more efficient to put the talk on YouTube and answer any questions in the comments section.

        I object to non-clarification Qs that are a bombardment of "stream of consciousness" Qs. I do not object to any interaction. It's a spectrum and I am talking about a situation in which the speaker is always rushing to finish because they are interrupted by pointless IMHO Qs.

        Maybe I'm just unusual in preferring interruptions. Prefer question/comment answering over getting flustered by the feeling that I am the only one talking and no one is listening. Even if they are long, at least am not alone.
