Who says the cast of The Big Bang Theory doesn’t know any science? Mayim Bialik has played neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler on the hugely successful CBS series for several seasons now. But it might surprise some people to know Bialik is, in real life, an actual neuroscientist who earned her PhD from UCLA in 2008. Bialik is ecstatic about any influence that she, and her character on TBBT, has on young women considering entering a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) field. “I’m really proud that I’m working a show that highlights women in this way,” says Bialik. She goes on to talk a little more about Amy’s relationship to Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz (played by Melissa Rauch),
