Actress/author adds expertice to Science Channel’s ‘Brink’
Remember Winnie Cooper from “The Wonder Years”? She’s a math whiz now. And best-selling author.
Danica McKellar didn’t just wait around for her next acting role. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of California with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics, co-authored a new math theorem (the Chayes-McKellar-Winn Theorem) and wrote two books (“Math Doesn’t Suck” and “Kiss My Math”) that wound up on the New York Times best-selling list.
She also played Elsie Snuffin on “The West Wing” and Maddie Monroe on “Inspector Mom.”
Now, she’s taken a gig as lead math correspondent on “Brink.” The series, which airs at 9 p.m. Fridays on the Science Channel (101 on Cox Digital cable, 193 on Dish Network, 284 on DirecTV), explores the people who are on the brink of changing our lives. The show also includes special segments in which the correspondents join host Zepps to provide viewers with valuable perspective on current discoveries, scientific developments, news or other topics.
Among the show’s other correspondents are humor, math and general geek culture writer Garth Sundem (“Geek Logik: 50 Foolproof Equations for Everyday Life”); Seed magazine editor at large and author Jonah Lehrer (“How We Decide” and “Proust Was a Neuroscientist”); popular science journalist and author Joshua Davis (“The Underdog”); neurophysiology research scientist and host of the “This Week In Science” radio program Dr. Kirsten Sanford; and Dr. Dwight L. Williams, former Chief Engineer/Principal Nuclear Physicist in the U.S. Department of Defense.
