The author showed jittered strip plots where you plot each point correctly on the y axis and randomly offset the x axis.

These are ok but it’s hard to differentiate the density of points when they’re randomly offset. Try a swarm plot (seaborn) / bee swarm plot (R).

It’s the same concept but the points are strategically placed across the x axis to show the width of the distribution at each point. It generally looks much cleaner.
