Participants: please freely ask questions!
For short questions (e.g. clarifying a concept, expanding on a concept, etc) it is generally fine to politely interrupt the speaker. Time is reserved at the end of talks for longer questions (e.g. about further work, or for more specific details).
To ask a question, it is preferable to simply unmute yourself and ask directly.
We will also keep an eye on chat, so you can type questions there and the host/moderator can relay your question to the speaker.
