I think it's interesting to hear how some people are upset with her non-physics videos and how that compares with how her videos are received by experts in those fields. Her videos are generally well received, whereas people complaining rarely have more to say than some form of "stay in your own lane". When people have a hard time coming up with complaints that are actually about the subject matter, you're probably doing a good job :)

I like the quote in the article from Patricia Rankin: "[challenging] people's assumptions ... because that's really what science is all about."

I have much more respect for someone who disagrees with me, with whom I can discuss differences reasonably, than with someone who agrees with me, but does so dogmatically. The latter is unfortunately more common than the former, and I think that's why Sabine holds a special place in my heart.
