Im about 20 mins in. Seems interesting and knowledgeable but why the game? Is it a quirk of her or do ppl like to watch it? Is this what twitch did?
She made a comment about it early on. I think it's to distract her a little so she doesn't just spend the next hour talking in detail about maths.
Is this the difficulty in communication she's referring to? That she has to play video games when discussing scientific topics like she's Sam Bankman-Fried?
Nah she means the difficulties in science communication which the string theory proponents have caused through misleading the general public, and causing the average punter to view physicists with skepticism or assume that all physicists are string theorists.
