✅ Use relatable examples, real or fictive.
✅ Stick to one or a few examples to frame your article.
✅ Use metaphors sparingly and note limitations.
💡 E.g., “stress is like a pressure cooker” works better than “the brain is a computer.”

Writing for a broad audience means rethinking how you present your research. It’s not just about simplifying – it’s about 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 and structuring it so people outside your field can follow along.

We live in a world flooded with information, but not all of it is reliable. That's why it's essential for researchers to share scientific knowledge with the public. Science communication isn't just a nice-to-have, it's 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘭.
