Tuesdays are your chance to gain extra knowledge here at 3-Minutes A Day University. Here’s the deal, we will present two diverse topics each Tuesday in video format. They are entirely optional – take none, take one, take two – it’s up to you. If you choose to watch a video, we promise that you will very likely learn something you did not already know. We will provide a minimal written introduction to each video to give you some idea of what’s inside. There are no duds. Each video is produced by top-of-the-line content providers.
