  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.

    @axel yeah this I cannot do myself, it involves magnets (and UV light for setting the glitter pigments)

    And here I am, thinking you’re an experimental physicist!👩🏼‍🔬

    Nothing a first-year’s lab can’t handle. But that would be misappropriating uni equipment 😁

      When I read “photonics” my first thought was the snarky holographic doctor on Star Trek. 😆 Lasers are fun too, though!

        Wait! I am in meteorology (aka atmospheric physics), specialising in cloud microphysics!
        My nails are not as shiny as yours, but hey - with polish 😁
        (And I am "only" assistant professor, so still have time to ramp up my nail polishing skills before I become a full professor!)

          @freyablekman The teacher mentioned a correlation, you’re suggesting causation, which wasn’t claimed. The teacher said "girls" and obviously meant "many girls among his students", which you misunderstandood as "all female persons anywhere". As a leading scientist you should know better.

          @wolfram_roesler I'm not suggesting, I'm just showing my nails!! But I can read between the lines as I'm on social media long enough. What are YOU suggesting?

            @wolfram_roesler @jkmcnk It means you're in the wrong place. Because what you said doesn't make any sense.

              @twobiscuits Yep, they involve magnets and Fabry-Perot interference. Good times!

                @freyablekman computer scientist with painted nails here!
                (I'm not a woman, but an enby and lived most of my life thinking I'm a girl/woman and already painted my nails back then so I'm well aware of all those shitty assumptions and comments :-/)

                Those magnetic/cat eye nail polishes are also really interesting from a physics standpoint!
                (Although that obviously isn't necessary, nail polish is allowed to be just pretty and still isn't a contradiction with being interested in (and good at) STEM)

                      @farmous I think you can definitely remain a male farmer. I'm a big fan of dark nail polish as I am clumsy and hit my toes all the time 🙂

                          @freyablekman That the teacher might not be totally wrong, and that this has nothing to do with your nails.

                                    @freyablekman this. I was told ‘girls like me’ don’t do computer science- by my high school guidance counsellor no less! Costly.

                                        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
