@jonasgraphie I happen to know quite a lot about that event so here are the facts:
- that conference was not in high energy physics.
- And the dress code was for a onehour protocol event separate to the entire week of science , where the Thai royal family was there.
- And the event was not obligatory and had no science content.
- so people who didn’t want to dress up didn’t have to attend , didn’t need to attend, and no harm was done if they did not attend.
- to summarise, in my book the people who complain about that are the same people who whine that they cannot visit a church in Italy when dressed like a slob in a tank top -

Thank you very much for pointing that out. Yes, I was aware that this event was not part of the scientific program and part of some protocol.And yes, I am pretty sure that I was falling for the public outrage, and intuitively would have followed the dresscode if I had been there. Still I feel like there is some clash of two "cultures".

@jonasgraphie that’s right. If you are at a visit of the president of your country you also need to follow the dress code. And the dress code changes per country.

Honestly I think I will delete me first toot. After your comments I find it inappropriate, especially in the context of your great initial toot.

@jonasgraphie I see your point.

So, here are the nails of an internationally leading particle physics professor. My nails.
Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM
@freyablekman They apparently don't use power tools and want to study forensics either

@freyablekman #alt4you A hand rotates to demonstrate iridescence in black-enameled nails, looking for all the world as if a magenta, gold, and green aurora were somehow captured in varnish.

@cwicseolfor thanks, I thought I had added alt text but my scheduler seems to have eaten it. Yours is much nicer so i've edited it in

Of ourse these are a physics professor's nails, they have particles in it! -

@freyablekman girls who do their nails with magnet effect polish are doing practical physics while doing their nails.

What did the physics teacher say when you showed them?

@Energetic_Nova not my physics teacher, sadly. I would have showed them all corners of the room. Verbally, of course
Still not OK. -

@afewbugs hehe so true. No nasty solvents for me. But I do have a fancy particle collider

@freyablekman It’s coincidentally a great example of applied physics. Pigments and reflective/ refractive materials are some of the prettiest physics available!
