I think Asimov explored this idea a little in one of his short stories.

I think there should be scientists and science writers. These writers should be employed by research institutions. Their job should be to understand the concepts and explain them in simple words.

I feel this would give the science world a lot more accessibility.

My problems with science papers have always been that the statistics have been written incomprehensibly (no layman knows what a p-number is) and that they repeat themselves so much that half the paper is just nothing
