## Caption

For better or for worse, "The Big Bang Theory" (2007-2019) is still a reigning cultural depiction of #womeninSTEM and science careers in general.

When every American sitcom has anti-intellectual leanings, I also appreciate how TBBT celebrates science and took pains to be accurate in the science.

I found it super sexist and cringy when it first premiered when I was in high school and this is the STEM representation we kind of have to settle for?

 However, it's such a popular sitcom it was almost inescapable, always on TV, on the Internet. 

Amy's character arc intrigued me to watch the show, and I find her fascinating and a refreshing #womeninSTEM role model in the era of #steminist influencers.
