Sigh.

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

Don’t believe the gatekeepers!

Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Admittedly I’ve had few physicist colleagues who had VERY long nails: they spent too much time programming computers, plugging in cables, wielding battle-axes against funding agencies, that sort of thing. But I’m sure it’s doable.
