The article is about the subject's social justice activism, not about her physics research. Nothing wrong with that but not what I was expecting.

- pepy 7y agothis is how they market themselves to HN
- tempguy9999 7y agoAs I get older I tend not to see things falling into distinct groups; they all blur together. While you say it's not physics, to me it is because fixing one problem will help the field so (again, to me) separating them seems a mistake. But that's just one POV.
- b_tterc_p 7y agoIs someone a great physicist if they produce 0 papers but reduce stigma in STEM
- tempguy9999 7y agoIf the reduction in stigma got more people involved who did produce quality work, then they've improved the field of physics - so in a way, yes. You may reject the label 'physicist', I'd understand that, but results are results. (Edit: in which case, does the label matter?)
