The Breakthrough Junior Challenge is a scholarship competition based on Science Communication. Each year, students from around the year submit a 3-minute video in either Math, Physics or Life Sciences. This year an additional twist was added: the time limit for these videos dropped from 3 minutes to 1:30 minutes

1) Did you feel like you were watching Tiktoks/Netflix movie or did it feel like a lecture

2) What parts of this video were you not able to understand well?

3) Are the add on visuals distracting? If so how can I make it seem more seamless?
