As of right now, the library will remain open. If you do come to study, try to give yourself some space and keep being vigilant in your hygiene. We will keep you updated as things change. Thank you for your patience!

From @byumagazine's newest issue: Like a real-life Moana, Dr. Linda Furuto uses principles of ethnomathematics to sail across the world on a traditional voyaging canoe—teaching the children she encounters along the way about math, wayfinding, and culture. magazine.byu.edu/article/how…

The Moana of Math

A BYU alumna sails the open seas without technology but with the stars, the wind, and a little bit of math.

Dr. Furuto sails with the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS) as an education specialist. The canoe, called Hōkūle‘a, has no GPS, clock, sextant, or motor onboard. Members of PVS sail using the stars, hand measurements, and the Hawaiian Star Compass as their guide.

10 new moons of Jupiter discovered! Coolest part is that one little one moving the right way goes through the rest of them, clumped together and orbiting retrograde, the wrong way. Maybe they collided and broke up anciently? vox.com/platform/amp/science…

We won an award at the @BYU Golden Hashtag Awards for our Insta story takeover featuring Dean Reese! He was a pretty good sport about it all 😄 xitter.cf/jMcBee84/status/100444…

This may be the only Insta story takeover by a college dean at any university in the history of Instagram. But it would still the best dean takeover in the history of Instagram, even if there have been more. @BYU_CPMS
