She definitely has some good story telling skills.
I agree with her that storytelling is important in physics. Feynman is probably a most well-known example for that. Reading different versions of the same stories he's been telling over and over, you realize he really has perfected this story telling skill. To the point where he probably himself does not remember exactly what happened as memories get shaped by such story telling. Yet, it's those physicists that people remember. The one who can engage the audience in a 10 minute talk at the American Physics Society conference. The one who can leave them with a take-home message, even if they do not understand the details of the equations. Story telling is what brings you far as a scientist. Story telling based on a solid foundation of physics brings you even further. Those two skills are indeed very complementary.

True, stories make complex concepts stick.
