Cover Model

Each year Chemists celebrate Mole Day on October 23 at 6:02 am. Get it? One mole equals 6.02 x 10^23 particles...

Many educators use this celebration to reach-out and excite students. At the Journal, we publish a special issue on the theme designated by the American Chemical Society. This year's theme is "Having a Ball with Chemistry". We filled the issue with great articles aimed at junior high and high school students that related to bucky-balls, ball and stick molecular models, and materials used to generate balls and other sporting equipment. In addition, Journal staff contributed pictures of their kids (or dog) playing with balls for the cover.

She's famous! What a great idea for cover art--and very well executed to boot!

I loved the cover, and all that was represented :-)
