    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

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

      @freyablekman Boys who put gel in their hair also don't do physics right?

      Also: absolutely love your nails!

        @freyablekman Obviously the teacher is a sexist. Yet, I don’t do my nails anymore, for environmental reasons. And because I find it superfluous and rather time-consuming. Nails can be beautiful without any artificial chemical additives. I use natural oils, e.g. coconut oil for handcare, for instance. #ForNature #sustainability

            @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?
