A sentence or two, accessible to the non-specialist audience, of the science accomplished.

A sentence or two, accessible to the non-specialist audience, of the “impact”. For a use-inspired science highlight, impact is typically a potential technological advancement, while the “impact” of a discovery science highlight might be to open up new frontiers of science or resolve a longstanding question.

A paragraph (~175 words that provides additional detail), hopefully still accessible to the non-specialist audience, but may be more technical if necessary.
