Enjoy. It&#x27;s +Vincent Racaniello.﻿<p>The audio is long, the relevant part starts about 30 minutes in.  That said, I recommend the whole bit, though the first 10-20 minutes are a bit rambly.<p>h&#x2F;t Bob Calder​﻿ on G+<p>The G+ thread on which I posted this had a comment to the effect of &quot;but he&#x27;s a senior tenured academic, he can <i>afford</i> to do this&quot;, to which I say, &quot;precisely, and <i>he has</i>&quot;.<p>Brings to mind another item I&#x27;d come across recently, regarding promoting open discussion in groups:<p>1. Let the junior member(s) speak first.  They can venture into topics others won&#x27;t.<p>2. Senior members, speaking later, can establish cultural norms by, say, <i>giving credit and credence</i> to earlier comments, and <i>by admitting their own errors and mistakes</i> (as here).<p>The cultural message is hugely powerful.
