Market Opportunity
Fascinating research is published daily but buried in academic journals. A newsletter translating the week's most interesting scientific papers into plain English — with AI-assisted summarization — serves curious minds who want to stay scientifically literate.
The Idea
Create 'This Week in Science.' Weekly format: 5 most interesting research papers summarized in plain English (AI-assisted), 1 'deep dive' into a major finding, 'hero scientist' profile, and links to original papers. Accessible to non-scientists. Free with premium tier getting exclusive deep-dives.
Key to Success
- AI paper summarization tools make this viable — manually reading and summarizing 5 papers weekly would be a full-time job
- Include WHY IT MATTERS — the best science communication connects research to readers' lives
- Partner with universities and research institutions — they'll promote your newsletter to their communities
