Big Bang Bee

A team of Brazilian biologists has discovered a new species of orchid bee and they have named it Euglossa bazinga. According to Dr. André Nemésio, a biology professor at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, "The idea was to honor actor Jim Parsons and his brilliant interpretation of Sheldon Cooper. The show exaggerates a little bit, but in a sarcastic way, it shows how things do happen in the academic world," he added. "It is fantastic!"
I am tickled pink :)
