@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
@psistarpsiii oooh I love those! particularly the cute little diffraction spikes
-
@afewbugs @cinebox @nachtet every nail gets constantly bombarded with millions of neutrinos. So I'd say we're safe. (neutrons, on the other hand, only a few. but they would get stuck on top)
But nail polish with ground up/liquid scintillator in it would totally get me interested. And should not be *that* difficult. Probably biggest issue would be making it cosmetics-safe

Future headline:
"Dark matter particles finally detected by researcher's nail polish"@catselbow @afewbugs @cinebox @nachtet come to think of it, such a layer would make it possible to make 50-100 micron thick scintillators. There might be applications

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.
Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM
@freyablekman My son, who wears nail polish, is greeting the teacher and saying, if the teacher had focused more on physics and less on gender stereotypes, they might perhaps have achieved more than Lehramtsstudium.

@freyablekman Beautiful! I always ask my girls to tell me the name of the nail color they get applied. Usually a pretty clever pun!
-
Also, my physics awesomeness is not stored in my nails. So physics is also totally doable for people without fancy nails. OBVIOUSLY.
@freyablekman
i would see it as a good deal, doing one's nails and being a good physicist in return.

@freyablekman she did an amazing job and they lasted 6 weeks! Fanciest nails I’ve ever had done

@freyablekman very nice, with _a lot_ of particles.
Yes, don't let them tell garbage.
I wonder what this "teacher" tells boys who do their nails? Object to stupidity! -

@freyablekman
Those look gorgeous! When I put nailpolish on, they look a bit more messy. I keep telling myself it is because I have ADHD and can't keep my hands still... -

@freyablekman Boys who put gel in their hair also don't do physics right?
Also: absolutely love your nails!

@freyablekman my wife had to fight to get into physics classes. Some things have sadly not changed.

@freyablekman Obviously the teacher is a sexist. Yet, I don’t do my nails anymore, for environmental reasons. And because I find it superfluous and rather time-consuming. Nails can be beautiful without any artificial chemical additives. I use natural oils, e.g. coconut oil for handcare, for instance. #ForNature #sustainability

@freyablekman nice
-
@afewbugs hehe so true. No nasty solvents for me. But I do have a fancy particle collider
@freyablekman @afewbugs was about to ask - not that it matters for the point - whether you are theoretician, lab-rat or administrator
anyway1: gorgeous!!!
anyway2: don't forget the "philosophers" variations and replace philosophers with "gender-/queerstudies"

@walsonde this is when mastodon needs all the old twitter burn memes! So true
