    I’d be willing to bet this isn’t real.

    I’ve been to lots of scientific talks and the idea of someone trying to call put the person talking is kind of ridulous and never happens. You would have to an asshole of the highest calibre to do that. And the fact he mentions a specific paper/person and that just happened to be tbe person speaking and the idea that the speakers name wasn’t listed is just so incredibly unlikely I can’t ever imagine that happening.

    This just seems like the kind of thing people fantasing happening, so they can smugly correct them.

      Yeah for real, there’s been another very old tweet that this seems to be based on. Might be real but reads very copied from the previous one.
