Tonight was @chem.ubc.ca annual departmental Christmas party! It was a lot of fun! Didn't win anything this year unfortunately but had a great time with the group! Even some crazy dancing at the end! Cheers for a good (despite the worldly circumstances) holiday!

Happy Mole Day from Meg A. Mole!

There are 6.02 x 10²³ atoms, molecules, or ions in a mole. This number, called Avogadro's number, is a fundamental unit of measure in chemistry. #NationalChemistryWeek
