Interpretation

This quote by Albert Einstein highlights the idea that the core principles of science are not necessarily complex, and they can typically be communicated in a manner that is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their educational background. It emphasizes the importance of clear communication in science to ensure that the public can understand and appreciate scientific ideas.
In practice
During a public lecture about climate change, this quote could be used to emphasize that the fundamental science behind it is understandable.

I think the next century will be the century of complexity.
From the point of view of basic physics, the most interesting phenomena are, of course, in the new places, the places where the rules do not work - not the places where they do work! That is the way in which we discover new rules.
I give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.
The pure culture is the foundation for all research on infectious disease.
I'm proud of the fact that I thought of the solar wind. It was an exercise in pursuing curiosity, which is the main motivation for studying physics from a personal standpoint.
If there is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least some consolation in the research itself. Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather.
