Sheldon Cooper Catchphrase Inspires New Bee Name

But now he also has a bee dedicated to him. id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Sheldon and Amy in a scene from "The Big Bang Theory." CBS Bazinga! Scientist Sheldon Cooper, a character on the TV show "The Big Bang Theory," already has two Ph.Ds and an IQ of 187.

Though theropod dinosaurs carried this role during the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods (and probably the post-Carnian portion of the Triassic), it is difficult to depict the Carnian scenario, due to the scarcity of fossils," the research team wrote in its study.
