  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 I'm qualified to talk about neither physics nor nails but I am impressed.

          That teacher's comment irks me so much.

          On of the women in my high school Chemistry class went on to be a Chemistry professor. There were only two women in a class of 25.

          Edit: She's retired now.

              @freyablekman at one point I painted my nails, wrote equations across them with gel pen and then painted clear polish over that. Doubt I can find a pic now but it worked !

                @freyablekman my PhD is in chemistry, but I work in photonics (physics! lasers!) and these were my nails I got done for the last conference I attended

                  @freyablekman @afewbugs This is so accurate! I stopped wearing nail polish for a few years working in organic chemistry labs. There was no point. The solvents always won 😔

                      @psistarpsiii @freyablekman you would think you could be very very careful and make sure that the solvents never went on your hands which after all isn't supposed to happen anyway, but no. The solvents always win.

                              @nachtet @freyablekman my most consistent period of nail polish wearing was about six months after I smacked my thumb with a mallet while putting up a tent, producing a horrible purply-green bruise under the nail. It was less effort to keep painting my nails than it was to keep answering the question "OMG what happened to your thumb?"

                                @cinebox @nachtet @freyablekman I mean do we know for sure that regular nail polish doesn't change colour when you bombard it with neutrinos? Has anyone ever tried?

                                      Any teacher who says "girls don't…" is not qualified to be a teacher.
