Explain it all to the general public? Labsolutely

Article Abstract:

Issues relating to an experiment designed to broaden the minds of chemistry students and get them to convey what a chemist does in a manner that is accessible to a general audience are examined. Feedback from students involved in the experiment revealed that they had learnt how to conduct interviews and how to express scientific ideas in a way that was universally understandable while gaining experience of working to editorial constraints and getting the chance to apply chemistry outside of exam conditions.
