Dr. Angela Collier plays the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and talks at length about what went wrong with string theory, and how that affected science communication.

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.

Yeah. I've seen her do other videos and she doesn't play a game. I think it might just have been a way to keep the tone conversational. Near the end, as she got the complex stuff, the game got harder and her presentation suffered a little. I'm hoping she doesn't stick with this format: not my favority.
