Mayim Bialik and boyfriend Jonathan Cohen taking some time off – but it’s not for what fans might think.
In a new post uploaded to Jeopardy! host’s Instagram, she revealed a new development in her working relationship with her podcasting partner. The two signed up to participate in a Global Day of Unplugging on March 3, where the two will choose to stop using their digital devices for 24 hours.
As The The Big Bang theory alum writes in his caption, there is much more behind this initiative than just staying away from social media.
“We talk a lot about [podcast] about the benefits of unplugging from technology, and you’re invited to help us turn those words into action!” Mayim Bialik’s breakdown host wrote on February 27.

When followers caught wind of Mayim and Jonathan’s weekend plans, they decided to share their thoughts about it in the comments. Turns out a lot of people loved the idea of taking a step away from technology.
