    I can’t wrap my head around the custodian’s thought process. They were able to figure out which breaker to hit, but they couldn’t read the note?

    I can’t imagine losing 20+ years of research to something so foolish. Then again, I also can’t imagine not having an additional local redudancy for power failures (assuming they already had generators for the entire facility).

      A warning was posted on the freezer, according to the court filing.

      “THIS FREEZER IS BEEPING AS IT IS UNDER REPAIR. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE OR UNPLUG IT. NO CLEANING REQUIRED IN THIS AREA. YOU CAN PRESS THE ALARM/TEST MUTE BUTTON FOR 5-10 SECONDS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MUTE THE SOUND,”

    Only $1. Shows how little graduate student labor costs. I would think that this would be way more damage then that to replace the samples even if it was possible which it probably is not.
