Experimenting With Babies
''Experimenting with Babies: 50 Amazing Science Projects You Can Perform on Your Kid'' is a 2013 non-fiction book written by Shaun Gallagher and illustrated by Colin Hayes. The book provides a series of home-based experiments that can be performed on infants aged birth to two years to test their cognitive, motor, social and behavioural development. Many of the experiments are modified from "landmark" studies or from the academic literature generally. Each of the fifty experiments is rated in terms of its difficulty and the developmental stage of the infant; each includes details on relevant research and on the "takeaway" for parents. Gallagher was inspired to write the book by informal experimentation with his own infant sons, who he has called his "two favourite science projects". He cited "bonding with your baby, the intellectual stimulation, becoming more exposed to the field of child development and all the cool stuff that's going on" as reasons to read ''Experimenting with Ba ...

The Big Bang Theory
''The Big Bang Theory'' is an American television sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom served as executive producers on the series, along with Steven Molaro, all of whom also served as head writers. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007, and concluded on May 16, 2019, having broadcast 279 episodes over 12 seasons. The show originally centered on five characters living in Pasadena, California: Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), both physicists at Caltech, who share an apartment; Penny (The Big Bang Theory), Penny (Kaley Cuoco), a waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's similarly geeky and socially awkward friends and coworkers, aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar).
