Call Your Mother...

...and tell her about your research! 

Listen to this Vox talk by Deidre McCloskey on how to communicate your ideas to others. Her main advice: explain your work to your mother in everyday language. Hints: Give examples! Be concrete! Tell stories! 

I also liked this piece of advice she gives to graduate students: You should be able to explain your results in words, in diagrams, and with equations.
