    I mentioned above the eternal truth that each row of a DataFrame is a Series. Once you grasp this, you’ll realize that you can access an individual “cell” of a DataFrame simply by getting the row you want, and then getting the specific value from that. A two-step process for doing this would be:

    Code \(\PageIndex{1}\) (Python):

    lisas_row = simpsons.loc['Lisa']

    lisas_iq = lisas_row['IQ']

    print(lisas_iq)

    But a shorter, one-stepper just combines these two operations on the same line:

    Code \(\PageIndex{2}\) (Python):

    lisas_iq = simpsons.loc['Lisa']['IQ']

    print(lisas_iq)
