SUMMARY

A PhD student is seeking feedback on a "Lay Report" intended for an audience familiar with A-Level physics in the UK. The student aims to ensure the report is accessible and appropriately pitched in terms of complexity. Jenga, a recent A-Level physics student now studying physics at university, has offered to assist by reviewing the report and providing constructive criticism. The discussion highlights the importance of tailoring scientific communication to specific educational backgrounds.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of A-Level physics concepts
  • Familiarity with scientific writing standards
  • Basic knowledge of the fellowship application process
  • Experience in providing constructive feedback
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective strategies for writing lay summaries of scientific reports
  • Explore resources on A-Level physics curriculum and key concepts
  • Learn about peer review processes in academic writing
  • Investigate common pitfalls in scientific communication for non-expert audiences
USEFUL FOR

PhD students, researchers preparing lay reports, educators, and anyone involved in science communication aimed at non-specialist audiences.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this - hopefully it's in the right place!

I am a PhD student and am applying for a fellowship which includes writing a "Lay Report".

This report has to be understood by someone who has recently taken physics at A-level (UK) ... the trouble is, I don't know anyone like this (or at least no-one who has done it recently enough to remember what they learnt!)

So, I thought I'd try asking for help on here... would anyone be willing to read my report and give me feedback? - I'd appreciate knowing if I've aimed it too high/too low and whether I've put in the odd word that's too advanced. Any other constructive criticism would be great too.

I'll post it a bit later - after I know if anyone will actually read it, so please reply if you are willing to help.

Thanks,

Jenga

I did A-level physics last year (finished in July). Now I'm doing physics at university, so some knowledge of the topics I studied at A level has been retained.

If you think I could help you, contact me or post a link to your report on here.
