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.

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.
Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM
@freyablekman Hear hear. I have a PhD in high energy physics, and I have done my nails a lot too. I don't do it so much these days because my nails rip very easily. Anyway, I particularly love the magnetic nail polish where you can use a magnet to create field lines as they dry. If that's not for physicists, then who!?

@veronica exactly!
I'm thinking of getting CMS experiment nail decals made for the CERN shop. I think they will be a winner.

@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).

@ElpasYou_2 stupid, with a degree AND allowed near kids

@freyablekman I'm qualified to talk about neither physics nor nails but I am impressed.

That teacher's comment irks me so much.
On of the women in my high school Chemistry class went on to be a Chemistry professor. There were only two women in a class of 25.
Edit: She's retired now.

@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
-
@freyablekman as you can see I am working very hard today
@freyablekman @afewbugs This is so accurate! I stopped wearing nail polish for a few years working in organic chemistry labs. There was no point. The solvents always won

@psistarpsiii @freyablekman you would think you could be very very careful and make sure that the solvents never went on your hands which after all isn't supposed to happen anyway, but no. The solvents always win.
-
@afewbugs hehe so true. No nasty solvents for me. But I do have a fancy particle collider
@freyablekman @afewbugs
And that doesn't mess with nails? -

@afewbugs @freyablekman
I'm a hobby gardener and do my nails during season to hide the pathogenic material.

@freyablekman @afewbugs
And that doesn't mess with nails?@nachtet @freyablekman @afewbugs someone design a nail polish that changes color when you bombard it with neutrons

I'm a hobby gardener and do my nails during season to hide the pathogenic material.@nachtet @freyablekman my most consistent period of nail polish wearing was about six months after I smacked my thumb with a mallet while putting up a tent, producing a horrible purply-green bruise under the nail. It was less effort to keep painting my nails than it was to keep answering the question "OMG what happened to your thumb?"

@nachtet @freyablekman @afewbugs someone design a nail polish that changes color when you bombard it with neutrons
@cinebox @nachtet @freyablekman I mean do we know for sure that regular nail polish doesn't change colour when you bombard it with neutrinos? Has anyone ever tried?

Autschn, though!

@freyablekman @jcdvore Very nice.
Any teacher who says "girls don't…" is not qualified to be a teacher.

@RadtkeJCJ there is a senior lecturer at the university of York who is known for her nails. Pic blatantly stolen from Kate Lancaster - check out some of her other #scicomm here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd19WvC9yqUd1zkyFJZD4nrZfLOtQaqUM&si=qRgrX9LttMUeZJHu
