I'm not the person you responded to, but I found the article unreadable because it kept going on about Ev’s life instead of her research. I'm sure her research is valuable and insightful, but with this style of reporting it is both inaccessible to me, and it gives me the (probably flawed) impression that her research isn't the part of her life that's supposed to be important or impressive.

FWIW, that's soft of the way a lot of physics books (not textbooks) approach the subject: Einstein/ Heisenberg/ Bohr/ Pauli/ Feynman/ Oppenheimer was this kind of person, oh, and by the way he came up with this theory of X. Apparently a lot of people like that way of presenting science, but it's not for everyone.

This is meant for a lay audience so you should probably just read her research papers.

Also:

I don't see this at all in the article. There's just some human interest content to make her research more approachable.
