Very OT from DW, but I love that Natalie Portman has a degree in psychology and remains a very smart, very sexy learner. :)

Oh yeah, I've always admired her for that too. And Danica whatsherface from The Wonder Years--doesn't she have a doctorate in something math or science-related? Same for Mayim Bialik--who I DID NOT recognize on The Big Bang Theory, omg my childhood--I think she's supposed to be super smart as well.

I read a Cracked article once on Actors Who Are Smarter Than You and I recall it saying that Dolph Lundgren (of all people!) has an IQ of like 152 or something and was a Rhodes scholar I think. Dayumn!

Danica McKellar did a lot in mathematics. She also wrote a book - Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail, which encourages girls in middle school to enjoy and succeed at mathematics.

Mayim Bialik has a PhD in neuroscience, so of everyone on TBBT, she actually understands the scientific gobbletygook she's spewing as Amy.

Ah, Amyyyyy. :D (Also that book might have been handy this year whilst my brain was slowly being broken!)

I'm a big fan of Amy. She's amusing, esp. when she's with Penny and Bernadette. :D
