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.

@freyablekman the nails of a programmer with 20 years on the job
@danielaKay Oh I love that petrol metallic. Wonderful! My compliments
-
@freyablekman is that the magnetic nail polish that they align with a magnet? i used to get my nails done all fancy and i loved that so much! that and chrome powder nails.
@piebob yeah exactly, it's that one!

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

@freyablekman I hope the young lady gave him an ear full
-
@freyablekman omg that nail polish is awesome what brand is it?
@Lunaphied if you search for magnet cat eye nails I'm sure you'll find something similar. These are relatively simple, people do a lot fancier things by now. There are, of course, also YouTube tutorials.

@freyablekman
Any chance you wanna share how you achieved that effect? Looks absolutely amazing!!@LisaLobmeyer a web search for magnet cat eye would do the trick. You need special polish (that comes with a magnet) These are relatively simple, people do a lot fancier things by now. There are of course also youtube tutorials.

@freyablekman That is awesome. I wonder how much it would cost to paint my car with nail polish, and how long it will last…
@su_liam I think the first nail polish in the 1920s was car paint, supposedly. So we'd be full circle
-
@freyablekman I hope the young lady gave him an ear full
@Giliell not sure. But she's been made aware of this thread.

@afewbugs @freyablekman I remember a day in my physics lab where I wore nail polish and had to clean something with acetone. Not a great combination, but I survived!

@freyablekman Being a logical, rational person, I'm sure the physics teacher changed their view in light of this new evidence.
-
Also, my physics awesomeness is not stored in my nails. So physics is also totally doable for people without fancy nails. OBVIOUSLY.
@freyablekman
There is physics in everything, so this guy is just a misogynist supremacist, thinks he’s a “serious man” but he’s profoundly unserious, and doesn’t even know it. -

@freyablekman but you obviously don't do elementary physics

Gorgeous!
You had them done somewhere, I presume? -
@freyablekman My daughter wanted to follow my footsteps, and study mech engineering at Technical University Munich.
So on a girls day, some postgrad engineer decided he needed help at pouring liqiid silver into a form, on open stage. He picked her, 17 yo, a tiny build, long blonde hair, and is a bit on the endowned size of female charms. He made her dress in a protective suit that was huge on her, stand in it next to a furnace melting aluminium, for half an hour, the visor fogging, sweat pouring, and then handle 10 kgs of liquid aluminium. I bet he had fun, joking about small hands, and heavy lifting, while she was suffering the heat and the fear. The situation was as sexist as it was when I studied, 25 years earlier.
When she came home, she had decided on doing somethig less "hands-on", she then graduated in Applied Math..
@shadesofgrease @freyablekman that's so sad to hear. What an absolute dick. I had different but equally repelling experiences in electronics & computing as a teen; I was also afraid of chemistry. I hope your daughter has an awesome career. It must be amazing to understand mathematics!

Great nails. -

@freyablekman Oh dear...
I do wish you hadn't added this..
Until then I had a perfect reason for my inadequacy in physics at shool and beyond ;-)))

@freyablekman Pfft gatekeepers. I'm a compsci girl who plays handball and wears nail polish and weird old school clothes. fuck those normative bullcrap.
also: love the polarised particle nail polish! Incredibly beautiful and well done :3

@freyablekman Gorgeous! I see that you applied that physics knowledge by using magnetic polish to great effect. I’m a chemist, and I also do my nails
