Question: what do you enjoy about explaining the difficult bits of science to people ? :)

Sometimes the language that scientists use is very difficult to understand. We can be guilty of using some very complicated words. I’m really interested in English as well as science so I like to “translate” difficult ideas and present them in a way that anyone can understand them. Sometime you have to think really hard about a good way to explain something but once you have it, it’s like a “eureka” moment (and a bit like discovering something new in an experiment really).
