    @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

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

            @freyablekman As a cis-man, I don't even undrstand how you can achieve such a level of greatness (and I neither imagine how much time it can take).
            These are really incredible.

              @Riduidel well someone made these, and it wasn't me. Nail tech is a real job. And they can make some nails for you as well - even as a cis man

                  @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.

                    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!)

                              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 😁

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

                                          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 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)
