I want to like Collier, but she has a patronizing, gatekeeping edge to some of her videos that I don't like. She also spends nearly as much time talking about science communication as she does actually communicating science.

Like for example, her QCD video was about how explaining QCD to laypersons is impossible. She dunked on Feynman diagrams, first as not being real math, then because its antimatter notation makes laypeople think antimatter is time-reversed matter. ...which it is, iiuc, as far as the calculations of quantum field theory are concerned. Also that QCD is misleading because color charge isn't actual colors, as if viewers are doomed to take the color-wheel analogy literally.

But this is a cynically pessimistic view to have as a science communicator. PBS Spacetime has covered QCD. Feynman's QED book teaches the layperson how diffraction, lensing, magnetic repulsion etc. work in terms of Feynman diagrams he shows you how to work through!

Why not teach science, rather than spread snark? Why not bring the audience up to you, rather than talking down to them?

Thanks, I'll try here too.
