Given my physics teacher (35 years ago) said repeatedly that girls couldn't do physics, I feel like this is a slight improvement 🙄

freyablekman - 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. Sigh.

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

Don’t believe the gatekeepers! #womeninSTEM

@Ruth_Mottram yeah I remember those teachers from 30 years ago - fortunately not my physics teacher in high school, but I sadly got them in university instead. Good to be stubborn, I made it :)
