after reading David's post on math and nerds, I felt like I just HAD to get her in there -

apparently she also coauthored a proof while an Undergraduate at UCLA -

And for you hard core mathematicians, here is a PDF of Danica's published proof

Percolation and Gibbs states multiplicity for ferromagnetic Ashkin–Teller models on Z2
