Little weird that Financial Times is writing about this. No gripe about the article per se, just not where I'd usually go for news about "galactic superstructures"

Anjana Ahuja (the author) is one of the best science writers I've come across - expressing technical ideas in a very simple expressive way, so that even simple financial minds can grok the concepts :). One of the highlights of the FT for sure!

Concur: She's the British equivalent of New York Times superstars Carl Zimmer and Dennis Overbye.

Where do you usually read/watch her content? It sounds great. I just have a number of gripes with FT

Unfortunately, I only read her articles in the FT. Out of interest, what do you not like about that newspaper?

It just tends to be very snarky and condescending. Many of their articles are editorials disguised as journalism. Obviously, it's hard to find any objective news sources nowadays, but FT feels especially ranty. Also, their paywall is especially frustrating since it doesn't even let you read the lede.

EDIT: To reiterate, Anjana's article was good. So this is all just personal opinion. I should probably give FT another look.
