"looking at the sunset, i love that my mind goes to color, wavelength, rotation of the earth, why does the horizon disappear and etc. i love it, it's like being in love with every aspect of the universe. " i feel u Mayim Bialik! :) you're amazing
*_She’s really blossoming_* _Mayim Bialik_ is my favorite character from The Big Bang Theory (although all of them are my favorite). I’ve not really seen any women from science field with PhD in neuroscience having a gift of excellent acting talent. Her acting is awesome and her comic timing is just…wow! This is really great video. I think it should be motivational for other woman to pursue their career in STEM fields. After all it proves that becoming a scientist is not as boring as one might think. It’s actually bubbly! ;)
You go,Dr. Bialik! As an immunologist-in-the-making, I doubt myself so many times. Thank you for reminding me that Science is for everyone, that it was these incipient romances with Science that started in middle school or so have brought us to grad school. Thank you, Dr. Bialik, from the core of my being.
I really look up to her :) She inspired me to try to be in the medical field because I thought I wasn't cut to be in the medical field no matter how hard or how much I love to help people. LOVE TBBT :D
She was at my high school in the fall! Look it up, the school is New Britain High School. A student won a $50,000 prize from a Texas Instruments contest
Dr. Bialik, you are the best!!! Thanks for breaking the stereotype of what a scientist is, for being you: whole. Performance, Creativity, Logic, Art, Curiosity, etc all rolled up into one.
I think I've watched this video almost every day for this past week. It just makes me smile - and sitting here in my first semester of an arts/science degree, it is also something happily motivating.
Woman I love you. There are certain major things I completely disagree with (lets not get into that) but I love you as a person and I love the fact that young girls can look up to you and get encouraged and inspired to pursue science,
I love this woman, it makes me feel good for the world and I would love to hear more from her and yet to much of a good thing, But I do feel that it is nice to see a smart person on tv all i can say is thank you universe for Mayim Bialik.
I'll be showing this along with other of Mayim's clips to my granddaughter as soon as she's old enough. my biggest wish for her is that she finds the hard sciences as fascinating as I do, and possibly consider making one, or more, of them her career choice.
I loved u from the very bringing.. And as a person that comes from every aspect of life.., I'm happy to know that there is a person who understands every aspect of life..
Really inspiring. I am not into science but I do juggle being an artist, dancer and my love of Psychology/mental health care. People have judged me and have tried to make me focus on one career path but Mayim shows the world that you can achieve anything you want and also fuse your passions together.
I've always loved her as an actress and from the day I searched more about her, I totally fell in love with her as a person. It's so cool how she treats parenting and religion and how smart she is and how talented!! Mayim's the beessstt!! I just started watching The Big Bang Theory because of her (I've gotta admit AHAHHA) :D
you are my idol, I'm a psychologist right now, but always felt bad that I didn't follow my heart and got into science (it was really hard for me to understand science, get good grades etc, but I loved it). I'm thinking about getting into science anyway, even if it takes me years and years..if it's what makes me happy! You're a great model.
Mayim is an extraordinary person for being able to balance Science and Acting, succeeding in both! So can we take over the top comment, and admire her for such rare and challenging accomplishment for just a second?
She truly has a gift, being so passionate about science and being able to make people laugh. She is my role model even though I'm neither into science nor acting
Amazing girl,I love the big bang series,I'm a plasterer from the UK and love being nerdy,I paintball just like Sheldon,raj,Howard and lenerd, science teaches us the truth about many things because we can see touch and smell everything that is shown from scientist.!!
+Juny Colon And Natalie Portman went to Harvard and got her AB in psychology. She later did graduate work at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. She has also studied French, Japanese, German, and Arabic. She's a smart cookie too - and cute as a button. "I don't care if college ruins my career, " she said. "I'd rather be smart than a movie star."
That you can make that point so succinctly within the confines of the RUclips comments character count limitation... I'm impressed. Keep fighting the good fight in the name of empiricism and science.
This is exactly why she is my role model, she makes me feel comfortable about having different interensts in so different things. I have always tried to make a choose between biology and acting and she is the living proof that I don't actually have to choose. I can do both and that is possible.
I've always loved science I've studied all the fields I can possibly or physically learn about on online and using RUclips and documentaries.I Love Rocket engineering and rocket science,astrophysics quantum physics,string theory, normal physics,particle physics engineering,electrical engineering,I love chemistry, philosophy I love robotics and psychology, biology, anatomy, love history and mythology. I know it sounds like I'm saying I'm a genius but I'm not I swear😅. I just love to learn and to have political, philosophical, religious, and scientific debates and discussions I think to truly understand the meaning of the definition of being human we must learn,understand and come to terms with the people, places and ideas around us but with ideas some maybe wrong or unknown if we can learn about them and see if an idea is wrong or right or if it'll work or not we might have hope
What a wonderful role model for women & girls. Thankyou Mayim, you're an inspiration. And no, you aren't too geeky. You are an exactly perfect amount of geeky. What is the SI unit for geekness?
Strangely, back in the days of "Blossom" I thought Mayim Bialik was cute, but my real crush was on her costar, Jenna Von Oy. NOW, however, the science nerd thing, particularly a science nerd dedicated and enthusiastic to earn a PhD, is actually a major turn-on. The fact that she's also hilarious, is just like a cherry on top of the icing on the cake.
Wow, I am impressed with anyone willing to undergo the rigors of biochemistry and physics degrees has my deepest respect. I thought of medical school in college but I ended up with a graduate degree in finance and economics. Since you are working towards a MD/PhD program I guess research is in your future. Is there any certain area of research that you are interested in pursuing? Do not let people get you down if they judge you by your looks alone. Let your accomplishments speak for themselves.
***** As a general rule, unless one's icon is specific to an activity, it doesn't inspire me to contemplate the owner's career path one way or the other. For that matter, my icon gives away nothing about my 12+ years as a police/ems/fire dispatcher. That said, I certainly do grasp your point. It's a shame that, inside and outside the scientific world, so many brilliant minds belong to small-minded idiots. Kudos to you for shattering preconceptions in the pursuit of what you love. P.S. As pertains to your icon, WOW! ;)
***** Well keep up the good work. Like I said let your work speak for itself. My wife is a beautiful woman and she has degrees in biology and inorganic chemistry and she can relate with your story. Good luck
I understand how she looks at a sunset. My mind does the same thing. I'll be looking at something beautiful in nature and I immediately think about the how and why about it.
Remember the episode where Leonard and his friends was made to go to a school to talk to girls about science and making them interested in it? This is like perfect for something like that. And it was actually a good idea. And if someone actually would put a great effort in this and hire famous people like Mayim to talk in like this "commercial" and informing talk that could be shown all over schools and inspire people! c:
Her "all or nothing" approach to vax is disappointing. Vaccination itself is not the problem so much as certain clinicians who disregard the recommended schedule and end up over-vaccinating their patients resulting in toxic levels of whatever transmitter they use.
I think her beliefs might be a little more nuanced than that. For instance, she might not hold to a "literal" interpretation of the Torah, but she can still insist that the core teachings of the Torah were divinely inspired.
Mike De Freitas You are talking to an atheist, sir. These things simply don't slide with us. No one believes in their holy books literally, they find sense and reason in them themselves. Which means the holy books are obsolete and hugely irrelevant. All of them. And when a rational person tells me "I believe things in Tora are true", that makes me question his or her rationality rigth away.
Daniel Korolev Again, it can be thought of as more complex than you're willing to accept. Think of when the Torah was written - conventional historical analysis has it being written around 1000 BCE, redacted a final time at 400 BCE. Literary analysis of the Torah has yielded sophisticated insights into human nature - the whole garden of Eden myth, for example, could be seen as allegorical psychology. So, when I see the Torah, as a non-Jew, mind you, I can perfectly understand why a contemporary Jew would want to say "grounded" in this religion. They may not believe it in exactly the way the Torah describes i..e miraculous exodus from Egypt, preferring a more literal political explanation, but the Hebrew prophets and religion they established has certainly been a major part in the civilizing process of mankind. In todays world, the old and perhaps gullible orthodox understanding needs to be updated. But the core existential situation (think Abraham Joshua Herschl) is the same. As an atheist, you are completely entitled to not believe in a God. But I personally find it arrogant to pronounce that "only" your perspective is the rational one, using linear logic as your basis. Everyone is entitled to form their own beliefs. Life is hard. Existence is a mystery. Some people handle their existence with a non-theistic framework, others, a deistic framework, and others, an atheistic framework. If it works for you, more power to you. Can sense an reason be found in ourselves? Of course. Nobody is saying believing in God makes you moral. But sense and reason are merely tools; they can be used to point in either direction depending on the premises we accept. And since premises are largely an "emotional" question, everyone will be led in their beliefs in a direction slightly different than someone else. I think you should try to respect that.
***** My feeling is, the God issue is and will forever be an open question. As you said, science can go to the extreme limits in studying the physical dimension. And perhaps,who knows, one day we may be able to describe consciousness and physics in a common language (energetic dynamics). But even then, can we ever really know if this is just randomness? The Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield when asked how being in space affected his view about the universe, and about God, responded that seeing earth from top-down, and the infinite universe all around him, only "deepened my dumbfoundedness". I thought that was such an apposite way of putting it. Since the question is ultimately open-ended, and logic can be used to support or disprove whichever premise holds more leeway for you, that's exactly what being in space would do: it would make you even more aware of the immensity of the question (Is this random?) yet leave you without an answer. The question simply grows in size. And you feel even more unable to fathom it. My personal feeling is, you have to go into the essence of human existence. The Jewish theologian Abraham Joshua Herschl really influenced me to see the human situation in existential terms. This sense of "awe' we experience is intrinsically human. No other creature possesses the neurobiological capacity to hold such existential questions within its consciousness: only the neocortex possessed by human beings, permits us to think this. So why? Why are we made to ponder these questions? It's an enormous mystery. Although asking "why" does not suffice as a logical argument, the sheer fact that the universe created a part of itself to ponder itself really does beg the question: are human beings part of the mystery of the puzzle of existence? And possibly, even an answer to the question? Either way, I live as though God exists. I find myself praying to him before I sleep, not in the sense of "asking" for anything, but just expressing my gratitude for existence, for experiences, for the daily wonders and senses that sublimate my perception.
You are a great role model for women and it is about time young people have someone who they can respect and look up to and se it isnt all about being popular and following the celebrity gossip about fat lips and fake boobs and a round butt. It is about having a wonderful mind and education and loving life. I love Mayim and feel she is ridiculously funny, refreshingly honest, and sweet. God bless her in her grief after her father passed on. I am sure he is very proud and watches her still.
... I didn't praise or vilify Sanjay Gupta before or after his stance. My stance on marijuana has changed too. Many scientists were skeptical of climate change but now aren't because they evaluated the evidence FOR THEMSELVES and only then believed in AGW. I would much prefer this to a person who jumped on the AGW bandwagon earlier, like the late 1990s when they saw the tide was turning, but didn't evaulate the evidence first.
"looking at the sunset, i love that my mind goes to color, wavelength, rotation of the earth, why does the horizon disappear and etc. i love it, it's like being in love with every aspect of the universe. " i feel u Mayim Bialik! :) you're amazing
I love her character. I love the person that is behind that character.
What a pleasant surprise to find such a treasure!
Mayim Bialik is wonderful. She's not only amazingly smart but also amazingly good at comedic acting. I love this video.
She sounds like she would be an amazing teacher. I guess it's a lot to do with the passion also, some teachers don't always have it.
She was a teacher.
She's intelligent for real :)
She is a great role model for all young people. I believe that scientists are the real stars not actors.
Plus she looked hot in this video.
my mom was the tutor and she was so happy to see these pictures
She's my favorite actress not because she's the most brilliant actress I've seen but because she embodies everything that women should look up to.
Like homeopathy, anti-vaccination, homophobia, etc.
@@TheChikius LOL
*_She’s really blossoming_*
_Mayim Bialik_ is my favorite character from The Big Bang Theory (although all of them are my favorite). I’ve not really seen any women from science field with PhD in neuroscience having a gift of excellent acting talent. Her acting is awesome and her comic timing is just…wow!

I used to watch her in 'Blossom.' It was my favorite show growing up along with cartoons of course. :-)
Heard about that show but haven't see it.
It's okay i barely remember anything from the show besides the title and her. :-)
Time to get some memory booster! ;)
via RUclips. Maybe it's there! :-)
This might be one of the best videos ever.
Well, at least that I've watched today.
Thanks, that was great!
I would have to agree David! Thank you for sharing!
Well worth watching!

she has got to be one of the most likeable and real persons in showbusiness. just wow. seeing all her videos i want to just befriending her :)
+Dean LB Follow her on Facebook or Twitter. She writes a lot of interesting essays and posts them on her site Grok Nation.
You can follow her on twitter or instagram. Her handle is @msmayim or subscribe to her youtube channel. She reads her comments almost every day.

Dr. Bialik, you are the best!!! Thanks for breaking the stereotype of what a scientist is, for being you: whole. Performance, Creativity, Logic, Art, Curiosity, etc all rolled up into one.
She and DANIKA MC KELLER both made the major in UCLA DANIKA IN MATH AND BILIAK IN NEURO-SCIENCE!!!

I absolutely love her. Such an intelligent woman and she seems like so much fun to be around. Great personality.
The bin at 2:53 they use to hold brains is the same kind of container my mom uses to hold rice.
Okay this needs to be shown in every middle school and high school science classes.
I look up to her so much! I really like engineering but I also like reading and sports so much!
You are an inspiration to everyone. A fantastic role model as well. :)
Impressive woman.
This is exactly why she is my role model, she makes me feel comfortable about having different interensts in so different things. I have always tried to make a choose between biology and acting and she is the living proof that I don't actually have to choose. I can do both and that is possible.
So much respect for this woman....I would agree with everything she just stated..
I watched this in science class today

I think I'm in love.
Is she currently available?
she's divorced, 2 children

NOW, however, the science nerd thing, particularly a science nerd dedicated and enthusiastic to earn a PhD, is actually a major turn-on.

My god that is so cool! 'Being in Love with every aspect of the universe'. Damn!
Please explain to me the difference make between the definitions of the term "open minded" and the term "gullible".
I frikin love you. Ive always loved science im fanated about anatomey, im propably the only one in my class who listens in science class
"Yeey! Brain tumor!"
love that scene 😂😍😍😍
"Being a scientist is as exciting creative and interesting as being an artist."
She a glowing ray of inspiration and I love her!
my college roommate reminds me of her soooo much!
I understand how she looks at a sunset. My mind does the same thing. I'll be looking at something beautiful in nature and I immediately think about the how and why about it.
She's just perfect! There is no other way to describe her.

So mayam balik and Danica McKellar both went to UCLA?
She said "love" so many times.
I love her.
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
From Blossom to The Big Bang Theory. Mayim Bialik rocks!
What an inspiring beautiful person. I love her SO MUCH. God damn.
Loved this
No, you asked "who would accept another persons criticisms?".
To which I responded, "people trained in sciences".
Great character actress, great scientist, great nice Jewish girl! She is just so cool!
You are such a nice *boy* for complimenting her.
What an inspiration!
Love her!
love her so much....she's awesome
Amy or Mayim Bialik on the show is probably my favourite character.
Man I love mayim! XD
It's just a shame that she ignores the finding of science when it comes to vaccinating her kids.
Her "all or nothing" approach to vax is disappointing. Vaccination itself is not the problem so much as certain clinicians who disregard the recommended schedule and end up over-vaccinating their patients resulting in toxic levels of whatever transmitter they use.
gaaaawd i love her
great story
Wow!!!!!! I love her now even more!!!!!
this woman is my idol!

What you have extensively described sounds quite similar to the Anthropic Principle, as defined by Sheldon Cooper.
People trained in sciences. As long as the criticism is valid I'm happy to accept it.
She's definitely a woman to look up to!
1:30 thats her at my high school! NBHS!
Marvelous...
She is the only reason I watch TBBT.
That works out well for the show, then.
Win @ 3:53!
You are a great role model for women and it is about time young people have someone who they can respect and look up to and se it isnt all about being popular and following the celebrity gossip about fat lips and fake boobs and a round butt.
