  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.

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

    @freyablekman Oh dear...

    I do wish you hadn't added this..

    Until then I had a perfect reason for my inadequacy in physics at shool and beyond ;-)))

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

        @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 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!)

                                          @mlanger @jcdvore Yeah I was also baffled when I heard. Can't believe that still happens in 2026

                                          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.
