Alleged controversy[edit]

The article previously said that Simmons

"attracted controversy for having referred to the lowering of standards in physics education as "feminisation" of physics.^[1]

But that cited article does not imply or suggest she attracted controversy. She may have, but I don't see it in that article. Also, the "feminisation" is referring to making physics in school more "girl friendly", which is what she was attacking.Improbable keeler (talk) 12:10, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Scientist interview[edit]

Rather than start a new External links section, I'd like to point regular editors of this article to an interview in New Scientist dated 27 October 2018, pages 42 & 43. It is probably available online. I'm not watching this page, so if you want to reply to me, please do so on my talk page. Cheers, Tony Holkham (Talk) 00:28, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
