== Common threads == Some usual features of popular science productions include: * Entertainment value or personal relevance to the audience * Emphasis on uniqueness and radicalness * Exploring ideas overlooked by specialists or falling outside established disciplines * Generalized, simplified science concepts * Presented for an audience with little or no science background, hence explaining general concepts more thoroughly * Synthesis of new ideas that cross multiple fields and offer new applications in other academic specialties * Use of metaphors and analogies to explain difficult or abstract scientific concepts
