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.

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.
