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 I don't why I'm still shocked with the ego of these men who insist on gatekeeping women in STEM.

I've few say it to my face without any prompting from me, just walked up and started a cold convo with: 'women do not belong in...' whatever job I was doing at that time. (STEM jobs). 🤦🏻‍♀️
