As a counterpoint, I strongly believe in the duty of science to communicate in a way that's understandable and engaging for the layman. Why are you researching this? What's interesting about it? What does this new discovery actually mean? What are the benefits for other fields? How does this change our understanding of the past and present?
And to do that, you need all kinds of people in science. From the awkward neurodivergent to the rockstar. Ideally, all scientists should strive to produce legible texts and reach out to the public. But you need star power to break the walls of the ivory tower and to close the gap between intellectual elites and the rest of the country.
And these don't have to be people that want to be in the media all the time. Just your most fluent speakers, those with the gift to put into words what it's all about. Those with contagious enthusiasm and love for their field.
