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.

@veronica @freyablekman Oh, where can I get that???
@wiebiwetter @veronica They're magnet cat's eye design. Most nail salons know how to do them. Many combos of base colour and multicolor pigments possible, of course

@freyablekman How did my Mastodon algorithm know I am back on my way from CERN? 🧐

@meta_blum Lovely helmets! I hope you also got to visit the prettiest detector at the LHC, CMS?

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

@freyablekman ex STEM girlie here, im very jelly of your nails.

@freyablekman @veronica Ahh, okay!
So far, I've always done my nails myself, so that would definitely be the next step... My new gold standard are your iridescent nails anyways...
Like iridescent clouds

@OverclockedAndy @freyablekman I still don't know how Dolly Parton plays guitar with those super done up nails on both hands. I mean, long nails on the picking hand is nice, it's like having finger picks. But she's got those mini-daggers on her fretting hand she can still play chords. The moment I have ANY nail above the quick on my left, if I want to play remotely worth a damn, I have to trim them. But she adapted with open tunings and barre and and low string fretting. Amazing!

@lerxst @OverclockedAndy Dolly is a magician !

️@freyablekman I did Synchrozyklotron, Atlas, Antimatter and Käsefondue (I love that combination
). The rest will follow another time -

@freyablekman Damn, those nails are meticulously done, as only a physicist could pull off I reckon.

Love the cat-eye.

@freyablekman amazing. I was hoping such stories were only from last millennium... Keep posting as I am afraid we're sliding back atm.
(As a white male I also have and had a vested interested in the benefits of equality and diversity, now even more as my daughters are almost going to college)

@jeroen interesting enough ther is some research that says college (if you mean college as 18+, I realise it changes per culture) is too late and the brainwashing happens much much earlier (12-14 ish). I hope your daughters get to do what sparks their interests and are not discouraged by stereotyping teachers !

@freyablekman thank you for the clarification

@freyablekman Wunderbar. Ich finde, das Käsefondue führt die Teilchen wieder sehr schön zusammen :-))

@freyablekman I was also particularly moved to be at the birthplace of the web. This has always been part of my keynotes, but really being there was just, phew...

@freyablekman what the fuck does doing your nails have to do with understanding physics? That's just an absurd assertion. Also, nice nails.
