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

    Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

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

        @jonasgraphie I happen to know quite a lot about that event so here are the facts:
        - that conference was not in high energy physics.
        - And the dress code was for a onehour protocol event separate to the entire week of science , where the Thai royal family was there.
        - And the event was not obligatory and had no science content.
        - so people who didn’t want to dress up didn’t have to attend , didn’t need to attend, and no harm was done if they did not attend.
        - to summarise, in my book the people who complain about that are the same people who whine that they cannot visit a church in Italy when dressed like a slob in a tank top

          @freyablekman
          Thank you very much for pointing that out. Yes, I was aware that this event was not part of the scientific program and part of some protocol.

          And yes, I am pretty sure that I was falling for the public outrage, and intuitively would have followed the dresscode if I had been there. Still I feel like there is some clash of two "cultures".

            @jonasgraphie that’s right. If you are at a visit of the president of your country you also need to follow the dress code. And the dress code changes per country.

              Honestly I think I will delete me first toot. After your comments I find it inappropriate, especially in the context of your great initial toot.

                    @freyablekman #alt4you A hand rotates to demonstrate iridescence in black-enameled nails, looking for all the world as if a magenta, gold, and green aurora were somehow captured in varnish.

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

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