At first I was like, " this is awesome; they're totally exposing the masses to the culture of scientists in academia." Then, little by little, I became disenchanted. I noticed there were never any actual problems on the characters' whiteboards-- just standard equations. And more often than not, when it was time for the characters to "do some work", they would put something asinine under those equations, like "= 8" when there were NO INTEGERS written anywhere on the board.
Anyway
Edit: Apparently they have real physicists fact checking the science on the show, so I deleted my previous statement about "hipster nerds" doing the research. Also, did you know Mayim Blank has a doctorate in neurobiology? No kidding.
