  • (i) Give your guest expert the opportunity they were there for.i.e. let them convey their knowledge and insight (ii) Correlatively please stop interrupting Dr Nance, you add little to the topic [Additionally please maintain equidistance from the mic](iii) Better structure required. Conceptual takes were about to be made before Dr Jennings was interrupted. Give your guest the range and the right to roam.
