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

    @freyablekman

    Sounds like he meant: "I don't think you can concentrate in my class if you're doing your nails at the same time."
    Which must sound like a scientific challenge to the whole class (boys also - nowadays they do nails!).

    What it signifies is: The physics teacher is weak in pedagogical skills and needs training.

    If they have such a hard time in a modern society, send them back to school! That's what was meant with "life-long learning"!

      @Odradek @afewbugs started as a lab rat, now mostly administrator. I got my PhD over 20 years ago, the young peeps in my group are definitely hands on ofc but I now am proud when I can help them still when I have time. As is of course rather normal for academic career paths

      @freyablekman @afewbugs so no pauli-effect (lab equipment stops working when theoreticians are nearby) around you.

      p.s.: a messuring-nailpolish-collection (magnetic fields, dosimeterpolish for ionizing radiation, younameit) … when?

          @freyablekman Besides this statement of the teacher being obviously nonsense, I would like to hear how he explains all this effects without physics...
          Gorgeous nails, btw.

                    @Odradek interesting. Yeah I could see that could work. But also that likely could only be used in a super controlling way.

                          @freyablekman not that I know anything about it, but those are some shiny nails!

                          In CompSci we would say that pretty nails and physics skill are orthogonal dimensions. By which we mean that they don't affect each other.

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

                              AND the science behind those liquid/glass nails is awesome! 💖

                              Years ago I went to a party with mostly men discussing BLAH, and some women all pretty & talking about kitchen appliances, cooking, & gardening.

                              Anyway, I was also sitting there, all pretty with make-up, glitter, and festive clothing, but listened instead.

                              The men had been staring,
                              One grinned: "So, what do YOU do?"
                              I said "Oh, I create websites with HTML, PHP, CSS, and do computer maintenance."

                              They all got silent.

                                1. Studying physics (at university) means the students are adults, thus women, not girls.

                                2. He prefers his students to not care for their bodies?!?? Yuck!

                                3. Sometimes functional nails need backup/support, e.g. for playing guitar. Applied physics 101: torsion/shear forces vs plastic deformation limit.

                                4. Why limit physics to girls? Men and the spectrum in between are also interested!

                                (studied physics, high energy laser applications. male, though)

                                    @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).

                                    We need fun!
                                    I mean, the men named the internet 'hyper space', try doing things like that nowadays. Bring back the fun and joy!
                                    That being said, I suddenly remember Camilla, NASA's space chicken.

                                      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.

                                      @freyablekman The pictures of all those spectacular nail polishs in this thread are intriguing

                                      If you don't mind the question, what keywords would I be looking for if I was looking for polish with this effect?
