I hate cats: a mock scientific presentation


If you continually interact with scientists, you will someday end up in the fighting arena of the scientific world, the presentation.

Scientific presentations are nothing like that.

Below is a fake transcript of a talk including interruptions entitled “I hate cats”. (Many of the fake audience members (AM) are based on real incidents.)
