@mcnees One of my all-time favorite tweets was from an attendee at a science talk. The presenter asked "what did Watson and Crick discover?" And from the back of the room someone yelled

@zleap I don't recall whether it was a thread, but I don't think so, or at least I never saw the continuation. Unfortunately the screenshot is gone, otherwise I would provide attribution.
