Helping PhD candidates prepare to present their research, I was struck not by the frequent inability to give a succinct outreach description - I was kind of expecting that - but by how non-trivial it was to help them create one. And this was after their theses were largely done. So I'm less puzzled now by how often it's not actually done.
