Idea. Every scientific article should be accompanied by a 250 word public-friendly ('plain English') summary incl a 'so what' sentence, be made available through a permanent online publication site (doi, citable), and be used/expanded upon by the authors Organisation.

Ahh. Headlines. Disagree back
It shouldn't be about the shininess. But if it was funded there should be a reason for it. There *will* be a hook. It might take a professional scicomm team to help scientists find it though. Every paper has a raisin d'etre. -
Lol, maybe I'm thinking more about the idea of "interesting" than anything. Maybe important would be a better term? At least placing research in context, because it might be very boring but that doesn't mean it isn't part of something great

Still could have a so what discussion. We need to get out that there are failures and that 'boring' research is still important.

Boring research was *funded*. Someone wrote a grant to *request that funding*. They justified the needs. They pitched the outcomes. Heaven forbid they talked about a Comms strategy beyond that 'high impact paper'.
That justification isn't unique 2a grant. It can be re-written
