How hard can it be to explain something you know in three minutes?
Benedictine College is hosting its 3-Minute Scholar Competition tonight, September 29, from 7–9 p.m. in Murphy-McPhee Auditorium. Six students will attempt to explain their research to a general audience in just three minutes, with cash prizes for the winners.
At the Little Station, Ryan thinks the challenge sounds easy.

Today’s ROOK is about the difference between knowing something and knowing how to explain it. Whether you’re presenting research, teaching a class, or introducing somebody to your favorite sport, making a complicated subject understandable is a skill of its own.
Ryan may need a few more minutes.
And possibly some slides.
