Advice: Turning research papers into plain English news

Hi there,

I'm looking for advice/top tips! My job involves me reading academic research paper and turning them into accessible plain English news items that can be understood by the general public.

I feel like I have a basic understanding but I'm struggling to put it into practice. I'm reading work by other team members and their writing is so simple to understand yet doesn't dumb down scientific concepts (they've also been doing this for years\].

Does anyone have any tips for me? I'm also interested in reading books about this to help my writing!

Just to add: I'm based in the UK so looking for resources with UK English.
