Recently I heard a podcast where a Scientist was interviewed. He was super competent and informative. But it definitely wasn't fun listening. He simply wasn't a great speaker.
And I think that's a problem of nowadays society. I've heard a couple of times that the scientific "community" dislikes people who can both simplify AND talk properly to people.
But if you want to reach the masses, I think it's exactly those ppl who are essential to bring knowledge to the masses.
