    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

      @freyablekman fuck that guy. My son is the top physics student at his school, and if I heard this bullshit from his teacher, I'd take him to go get his nails painted that night

          One of the novella brothers was telling us on their podcast that their daughter's science teacher told his class the moon landings were faked. Completely inappropriate and for 2026, mindboggling.
