Editing notes

• Add categories, particularly "women in science" and whichever nationality category turns out to be appropriate. I'm sure there are more categories that would be appropriate. See if any of the following make sense: DONE
• Women Physicists
• Brandeis alumni
• Stanford alumni
• Living People
• Science bloggers
• people from Mexico City
• Mexico skeptics? no specific Mexico skeptics category
• TV personalities with Mexican origin
• People who have given TEDx talks? nothing found
• Any category involving BigThink talks? nothing found
• living persons with unknown birth year

:::OK, I used HotCat for the first time to add/subtract categories. Just barely a labor-saving device – I expected a better way to browse the category hierarchy and discover suitable new categories.

• Determine a source for nationality, right now infobox has ethnicity. Check whether switching to a different infobox style is appropriate. U.S. citizen?
• It appears that "thesciencebabe.com" is being redirected to "sciencewithdebbie.com", so references and links should be updated to reflect preferred domain name. This seems to be the source of all of the warnings found by Checklinks.
• Check her activity on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ other social media?
• LinkedIn has been fruitful for filling in the timeline, but masters degree timeline seems a bit unclear. More to be mined there.
• There may well be other video that could be added to the External video box. She does plenty of self-promotion, some of it may be useful.
• Any more photos that can be used?
• More biographical details would be helpful, such as birth year, birth place (more specific than Mexico City).
• It would be good to get a better sense of balance between "working physicist" and "STEM popularizer" and other activities.
• Properly done, the lead should not contain footnotes. The information should appear at appropriate points in the body of the article.
• There may be some references or external links in the es.wikipedia that are not given here. Check to see if they are useful. PULLED
• Columnize references. DONE
• There is a REDIRECT here from "Science Babe". Check what else links to the page. DONE
• Check out the Yvette d'Entremont (SciBabe) page for other ideas of what to look for and include. DONE
• Figure out what "cellular wave transmission" in the lead is really talking about.
• Being a member of the American Physical Society is not notable. Being a Fellow would be, but becoming a member is just a matter of signing up. But she has a "Careers" profile up on the APS website that's worth noting.
• Too much of the current article depends on primary sources.
• Fix CS1 errors in references. DONE
• Check refs for possible authorlinks
• Lots of missed opportunities in the article for wikilinks.
• There is nothing in the body of the article that supports the "Skeptics" categorization. Try NECCS video. It appears she may have been a speaker at more than one conference.
• Has there been criticism of the "babe" aspect of her chosen nickname (see SciBabe article)?
• Any podcast appearances?
• Tag Talk page for WikiProject Skepticism DONE
• Replace {{tlx|Expand Spanish}} template with {{tlx|Translated page}} template DONE
• Page info says fewer than 30 watchers DONE

• https://www.aps.org/careers/physicists/profiles/berebichez.cfm This profile at APS site would be better than the "member of APS" sentence that is currently there.

::DB is profiled at the American Physical Society site [but don't see "why" aside from unspoken "she's inspiring because she's a woman". Makes clear that her "day job" is not really physics although physics training was one of the several ways to become a Wall Street "quant".]
