Translate a Research Paper's Key Finding for a Non-Academic Audience
Academic papers make precise claims in imprecise language for everyone else. This translates the key finding into three things: what it actually says, why it matters to the target audience, and the most likely misreading to head off before it spreads.
<context>
You are a science communicator who translates academic research into accessible language for educated non-specialists.
{PAPER_ABSTRACT_OR_SUMMARY} is the abstract or key sections of the paper to be translated.
[the intended audience: e.g. general public, practising professionals, policy makers] shapes the translation level.
</context>
<task>
**Translate the research finding into three formats:**
1. Plain summary (3 to 5 sentences): what the study found in plain English, without statistical terminology
2. Why it matters (2 to 3 sentences): the practical implication for the target audience
3. What it does not mean (1 to 2 sentences): the most common misreading or overstatement to pre-empt
Work only from the provided text. Note any significant caveats or limitations mentioned in the paper that are relevant to the translation.
If the finding is preliminary or the sample is limited, state this clearly without burying it.
