Even Hollywood is Talking STEM!

STEM is even catching on in Hollywood these days. The buzzword has stars talking about what they can do to get involved - which is exactly what "Big Bang Theory" star Mayim Bialik has done.

The former child star earned a Ph.D. in neuroscience (yes, neuroscience!) from the University of California-Los Angeles back in 2007, and now plays neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler on the popular CBS sitcom "Big Bang Theory."

To see what Bialik had to say to the critics of "Big Bang Theory" that believe the show perpetuates some stereotypes of men and women in science and to see what advice she had for high school girls who are worried about being labeled "nerds" because they're interested in STEM subjects, check out High School Note's full interview with her.
