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

    Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

    You can certainly have bright red nails and help me replace my starter motor!

      @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.

                          I'm no particle physicist, but I'm fairly sure you're supposed to keep your hands away from the beam.
