This paper describes my experience at presenting episodes of history of science in brief radio presentations of 8 to 10 min to a large audience of people interested in science as well as in writing brief essays explaining the dynamic of science using historical cases. The paper describes the constraints of such format and how it differs from writing long and detailed scholarly papers.
