What motivated you to reach for your neuroscience degree?
In 1994, after "Blossom," I wasn't poised for a serious adult career. The industry was very different than it is now, and it was considered a smart career move to step away for a while.
I fell in love with science in high school and had a great tutor who fostered in me a love of the subject.
I pursued science in undergrad, where I met my [ex-husband], and kept going to get my Ph.D.
How, if ever, do you use your degree in your daily life?
The first year after I got my degree, I taught homeschoolers in the community, and that was a great experience.
Neuroscience is an amazing degree because it includes child development. Plus, I like to psychoanalyze people all the time – just because I can!
But I chose it because it's the perfect science of how we think as well as process emotions.
Does your degree come in handy on your show, "The Big Bang Theory?"
I get a twitch when something in a script doesn't ring true, but our writers do an amazing job of research.
They usually don't need my help, but sometimes words come up wrong on spell-check, for example, so they'll ask me if it's really a word.
