  3. I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics.

    So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

    Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

    @freyablekman Being a logical, rational person, I'm sure the physics teacher changed their view in light of this new evidence.

      Also, my physics awesomeness is not stored in my nails. So physics is also totally doable for people without fancy nails. OBVIOUSLY.

      There is physics in everything, so this guy is just a misogynist supremacist, thinks he’s a “serious man” but he’s profoundly unserious, and doesn’t even know it.

        @freyablekman but you obviously don't do elementary physics 🙂

          Gorgeous!
          You had them done somewhere, I presume?

            @freyablekman My daughter wanted to follow my footsteps, and study mech engineering at Technical University Munich.

            So on a girls day, some postgrad engineer decided he needed help at pouring liqiid silver into a form, on open stage. He picked her, 17 yo, a tiny build, long blonde hair, and is a bit on the endowned size of female charms. He made her dress in a protective suit that was huge on her, stand in it next to a furnace melting aluminium, for half an hour, the visor fogging, sweat pouring, and then handle 10 kgs of liquid aluminium. I bet he had fun, joking about small hands, and heavy lifting, while she was suffering the heat and the fear. The situation was as sexist as it was when I studied, 25 years earlier.

            When she came home, she had decided on doing somethig less "hands-on", she then graduated in Applied Math..

            @shadesofgrease @freyablekman that's so sad to hear. What an absolute dick. I had different but equally repelling experiences in electronics & computing as a teen; I was also afraid of chemistry. I hope your daughter has an awesome career. It must be amazing to understand mathematics!

                    I do wish you hadn't added this..

                    Until then I had a perfect reason for my inadequacy in physics at shool and beyond ;-)))

                        @freyablekman Pfft gatekeepers. I'm a compsci girl who plays handball and wears nail polish and weird old school clothes. fuck those normative bullcrap.

                        also: love the polarised particle nail polish! Incredibly beautiful and well done :3

                                      @freyablekman As a dad of a 9yo who would love to learn more about STEM (I'm a CS grad, software developer by trade, trying my best to teach her stuff whilst giving her room to grow and do her own stuff):

                                      how do you get nails like this?! they are so freakin' cool!!!

                                      my kid would **absolutely love** this!! (and frankly, so would I!)

                                          I heard last week that the physics teacher of the daughter of one of my colleagues told the daughter that girls who do their nails don’t do physics. Sigh.

                                          So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.

                                          Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM
