Mayim Bialik – Neuroscience, UCLA/ PhD in Neuroscience from UCLA
Bialik plays a science geek on The Big Bang Theory — and turns out she’s a bit of a nerd in real life. She studied neuroscience and Hebrew at UCLA as an undergrad, then earned her PhD in neuroscience there, too.
She feels at home on-set, though, saying, “I don’t think I’ve met a smarter group of people who hang out together, possibly ever, even in graduate school, than our writers and producers.”
Mindy Kaling – Playwriting Degree, Dartmouth College
The multi–talented actress, comedian and writer graduated from Dartmouth College with a degree in playwriting. At Dartmouth, she did improv and wrote a regular and very popular cartoon in The Dartmouth (also referred to as The D) called “Badly Drawn Girl.”
Kaling has said of college, “There were times I was at The D at like 3 a.m., outside in my car while it was snowing and I’d just put my blinkers on and sit there drawing. I don’t how I kept up with everything.”
