Is this the difficulty in communication she's referring to? That she has to play video games when discussing scientific topics like she's Sam Bankman-Fried?

Nah she means the difficulties in science communication which the string theory proponents have caused through misleading the general public, and causing the average punter to view physicists with skepticism or assume that all physicists are string theorists.
