Some of them grew up watching the show, and maybe the show had influence on some of them choosing to pursue science as a lifetime goal. Wouldn’t it be great if we can help. We have all been given a gift with The Big Bang Theory, a show that&#39;s not only based in the scientific community, but also enthusiastically supported by that same community - this is our opportunity to give back.
