Danica McKellar
I posted this in the TV Chat group, but thought it might interest some here:



Remember Winnie from Wonder Years? Guess what she's done since then?

She got a degree in Mathematics from UCLA.

While she was there, she even co-authored a math proof - new research proving an original math theorem - highly unusual for an undergraduate. In fact, she was the only undergraduate invited to speak at Rutgers University's biannual Statistical Mechanics conference a few years back.


FWIW, the name of the paper is "Percolation and Gibbs states multiplicity for ferromagnetic Ashkin–Teller models on Z²." If anyone knows what that means, please enlighten us.

More info at http://www.danicamckellar.com /

She's geek of the week, apparently. www.ernac.com

2. She still looks great too....
She had a brief cameo in the West Wing working with Will Bailey when he was first introduced.
