Very nice but the article could do without using the term "standard model".

I get that she is talking about the standard cosmological model and she leaves it uncapitalized, but it really confuses readers familiar with "the" Standard Model as a QFT theory

In the literature, LCDM is commonly referred to as the "standard model" (in cosmology of course). So there is nothing wrong with that. Though I wouldn't trust Vice to get their terminology right, so they probably got it from the authors.
