The prompt

Write a plain-language (lay) summary of my research. Paper abstract or findings: [PASTE] Audience: [e.g. "funder's public website", "university press office", "patients and caregivers", "policymakers"] Length and format required: [e.g. "150 words", "blog post of 600 words", "3 bullet points"] Why it matters in everyday terms: [YOUR VIEW] What it does NOT show: [limits people might misread, e.g. "a mouse study", "correlation only", "small pilot"] Rules: - Reading level around grade 8; define or replace every technical term. - Answer in order: what was the question, what did we do, what did we find, why does it matter, what happens next. - Use concrete comparisons for numbers (e.g. "about 1 in 5 people") and keep them accurate. - Match certainty to the evidence: no "cure", "proves", or "breakthrough". Name the study type (e.g. animal, observational, early-stage). - If this involves health, add that people should not change treatment based on the study and should talk to their clinician. Return the summary, a one-sentence version for social media, a suggested headline that is accurate rather than sensational, and a list of any phrases a journalist might over-interpret.
