I don’t really know if I would consider Mayim Bialik a “scientist”. She has a degree in neuroscience, but I don’t think just finishing a stem degree makes you a scientist for the rest of your life.

I have a medical degree, but I doubt any of my colleagues (outside of medical research) would be comfortable with utilizing the title.

Someone who hasn’t ever actually worked in their field of study, and only has two published papers…which to be honest, I didn’t even know was possible to complete a Phd while only having a single publication as a post graduate. The publishing requirements for graduate schools have become kinda insane, but your only major publication being your thesis is also kinda absurd. It wouldn’t surprise me if she received some special treatment due to her celeb status.

Also, someone with a research based degree who also is antivax is concerning. Not to mention the whole selfhelp podcast and the rabid Zionism…
