It turned out she had more talent for being a science influencer than a scientist.
- aleph_minus_one 1mo agoI don't think she is untalented as a researcher in physics. Where she did not have talent at (and which is why she became a science YouTuber) is in "playing the career game" in physics research. Being a great researcher in some science requires very different talents than climbing the career ladder in this area of academic research.
- senderista 1mo agoShe chose to pursue fringe directions in physics which may or may not have been related to her lack of academic success.
