Responding to the interesting conversation context.
First, always bring pen a paper to any meeting/​presentation that is in anyway formal or professional. Questions always come up at times when it is inappropriate to interrupt, save them for lulls.
Second, an an anecdote. I noticed I had a habit during meetings to focus entirely on absorbing and recording information, and then would process and extrapolate from it after the fact (I blame spending years in the structured undergrad large technical lecture environment). This habit of only listening and not providing feedback was detrimental in the working world, it took a lot of practice to start analyzing the information and extrapolating forward in real time. Once you start extrapolating forward from what you are being told, meaningful feedback will come naturally.
