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

    Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

      @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 Gorgeous! I see that you applied that physics knowledge by using magnetic polish to great effect. I’m a chemist, and I also do my nails ❤️

          @freyablekman so glad my high school physics teacher was a woman and I didn't have to deal with that bullshit.

                You have to break out the two parts to mathematics: applied and theoretical

                  @freyablekman I can attest to an oil engineer who surprised the helicopter crew taking her out to the platform by appearing with painted fingernails.

                    @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!)

                                        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.

                                          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

                                          And that in the year 2026.

                                          What an idiot.
