    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

    @freyablekman girls who do their nails with magnet effect polish are doing practical physics while doing their nails.

        What did the physics teacher say when you showed them?

          @Energetic_Nova not my physics teacher, sadly. I would have showed them all corners of the room. Verbally, of course 🙂 Still not OK.

                  @afewbugs hehe so true. No nasty solvents for me. But I do have a fancy particle collider 🙂

                    @freyablekman It’s coincidentally a great example of applied physics. Pigments and reflective/ refractive materials are some of the prettiest physics available!

                      @cwicseolfor yep and this specific varnish with magnetisable nano-glitter is a great example of Fabry-Perot interference. Good times 🙂

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

                          @freyablekman Hear hear. I have a PhD in high energy physics, and I have done my nails a lot too. I don't do it so much these days because my nails rip very easily. Anyway, I particularly love the magnetic nail polish where you can use a magnet to create field lines as they dry. If that's not for physicists, then who!?

                            @veronica exactly!

                            I'm thinking of getting CMS experiment nail decals made for the CERN shop. I think they will be a winner.

                              @freyablekman Great idea. I was there in September and there was a lot less fun stuff than there used to be when I worked at CERN (I worked on Hi-Lumi LHC some years ago).

                                        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.

                                          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

                                          @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
