Mole rat cuddle puddle for #MoleDay (even though mole rats are neither moles nor rats)! Resembling saber-toothed fuzzy potatoes, these rodents use their long incisors to gnaw through soil, digging elaborate tunnels. They spend nearly their entire lives underground. Show more

Happy Mole Day part 2 If you didn’t celebrate on 6/02 now’s your chance @compoundchem
Today is October 23. Celebrated by chemists annually from 6.02 am to 6.02 pm on October 23rd, Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10"23), which is the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12 (one mole).
If we told a punny chemistry joke every 10 seconds… it would STILL take over 200,000 TRILLION years to tell a mole of jokes??? (Don’t worry, we won’t try…all the good ones Argon, anyway. ) Happy Mole Day Eve! Show more
Our October CER grad student social hour is this Wednesday - Mole Day!! We have a fun photo scavenger hunt planned & we reserve the last 5-10 minutes for shameless plugs/announcements/recruiting. Here's the link to request the zoom link: Show more
Happy Belated Mole Day (by 41 minutes here) Quote Physics In History @PhysInHistory · 19h Mole Day, celebrated on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., honors Avogadro's constant (6.02×10²³), the number of particles in a mole, a key chemistry concept.
Mole Day commemorates the discovery of the scientific constant, Avogadro's Number, 6.02 x 1023 . The number represents the number of elementary units in ‘one mole’ of any substance.
