She is a sought after lecturer to talk about particle physics at all levels: at a popular level to general public, at a simple level for students and at a higher technical level for scientists who are not particle physicists or perhaps not even physicists and of course at technical level to particle physicists themselves. Just to give an idea, in the two years since 2012 July, after the announcement of the new boson at the LHC, she gave 24 popular talks and nine colloquia on the topic of the Higgs and LHC physics, to be added to it are 27 Technical invited talks on the subject of the Higgs boson, the Top quark and BSM Physics at the LHC!!
