EAPS alumna Madonna Yoder '17 is known as the "Queen of Tessellations", turning single sheets of paper into folded patterns that repeat infinitely. She invents new designs - and writes papers about their underlying math. https://t.co/ppW7C6Y2ws

Madonna Yoder ’17 studied rocks at MIT. But her passion is for paper—with no scissors. Today, she’s a tessellation expert who teaches, invents new designs, and writes papers on the underlying math.

Scientists have discovered rare remnants of “proto Earth,” long believed to have been destroyed after a giant impact melted the planet's interior and reset their chemistry. These remnants give us a snapshot of our planet during its early formation. https://t.co/S04uOgekUF
