We made this short animation explaining the basic science of COVID19 vaccines hoping to help answer questions and myths that are in the community.

We are working overtime in the department to make sure our online instruction starting next week is as effective as possible. In the meantime, everyone please take care of yourselves and each other. The health of our students, staff, and faculty is our top priority.

[BYU Harold B. Lee Library @byu_hbll]

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!

Dr. Furuto is one of our incredible Math Education alumni. She is now a professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and is the founding director of the world's first ethnomathematics program. @uhmanoa

[BYU Science and Math @BYU_Science]

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. https://t.co/Kt5YTvQim6

[BYU Science and Math @BYU_Science]

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.

Congrats to Dr. Joshua L. Andersen of the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry for receiving a prestigious research grant from the American Cancer Society! We are excited to see the work that he and his students will do.

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? https://t.co/dlefmSpGvh

"Heavenly Father does love you. And He knows you. Among all of His creations, you are the most important." #byudevo

If you missed Professor Stephen's devotional check it out at BYU Speeches!

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at CPMS!

[BYU @BYU]

If we keep comparing ourselves against something that we are not, we will never find true happiness in this life. #byudevo

[BYU Science and Math @BYU_Science]

Tune in! Tomorrow's devotional will be given by Professor Denise Stephens! https://t.co/27nMfpZQr7

[BYU Science and Math @BYU_Science]

Your face when you realize that tomorrow is the last day of finals. Good luck to all of our students out there! (Picture was taken at our 2018 Chem Camp!)

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 😄 https://t.co/sa4OKahOvm

[Jon McBride @jMcBee84]

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

[BYU Science and Math @BYU_Science]

@jMcBee84 We think so too 😏
