Neurobiologist in training. If anyone says 'Oh, like Mayim Bialik!', I will splash them with capsaicin. SUCK ON THAT, TRPV1 RECEPTORS My mom likes The Big Bang Theory, actually, despite the fact that she fully acknowledges it's a sort of scientist blackface (she likes it for other reasons, and has complained about how it typifies scientists - she's not one herself, she's a sociologist by training and an analyst at a biomedical granting body, but she works with people like me and she's been supportive of me from the get-go and has gotten more scientifically aware herself as she's witnessed me going through my studies). I don't know any successful scientists who exhibit any of that behavior. The only ones I've known who have were extremely unsuccessful.
