Welcome to the blog of the Avogadroville Campus of the Center for Cellular Biology! While reading this website, remember that everything is in measured in moles of molecules, as this is Avogadroville, where everything is measured in moles! In this blog, I, the head scientist for this facility, will show some of the new things that we get in, as well as giving you all a glimpse of our immortal cell line.
Remember, one mole is 6.022x10^23 of something, be it molecules, atoms or cats (that is an awful lot of cats...). One mole is 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 of something- 602.2 sextillion of something. Most things that are able to be seen with the naked eye would be overwhelming at that level- one human is less than 10^-11 of a mole of cells, and one cannot even see most cells. So, yes- a mole is a relatively large number.
