  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.

      @freyablekman @afewbugs was about to ask - not that it matters for the point - whether you are theoretician, lab-rat or administrator

      anyway1: gorgeous!!!

      anyway2: don't forget the "philosophers" variations and replace philosophers with "gender-/queerstudies" 😉

      @Odradek @afewbugs started as a lab rat, now mostly administrator. I got my PhD over 20 years ago, the young peeps in my group are definitely hands on ofc but I now am proud when I can help them still when I have time. As is of course rather normal for academic career paths

        @freyablekman My son, who wears nail polish, is greeting the teacher and saying, if the teacher had focused more on physics and less on gender stereotypes, they might perhaps have achieved more than Lehramtsstudium. 😜

              I wonder if it's the nails or the woman he disapproves of. 🙄

                Sounds like he meant: "I don't think you can concentrate in my class if you're doing your nails at the same time."
                Which must sound like a scientific challenge to the whole class (boys also - nowadays they do nails!).

                What it signifies is: The physics teacher is weak in pedagogical skills and needs training.

                If they have such a hard time in a modern society, send them back to school! That's what was meant with "life-long learning"!
                😉

                    @freyablekman @afewbugs so no pauli-effect (lab equipment stops working when theoreticians are nearby) around you.

                    p.s.: a messuring-nailpolish-collection (magnetic fields, dosimeterpolish for ionizing radiation, younameit) … when?

                        @RadtkeJCJ @freyablekman I have always craved antitoxic culture. Please start a company and hire me. I will paint my nails for the interview (and I will do a shitty job).

                          @freyablekman Besides this statement of the teacher being obviously nonsense, I would like to hear how he explains all this effects without physics...
                          Gorgeous nails, btw.

                                        @Odradek interesting. Yeah I could see that could work. But also that likely could only be used in a super controlling way.

                                          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.
