TIL ... one of our students managed to destroy an entire -80°C freezer rack full of samples last week. #sigh

@Surasanji the whole lab's stock of cell lines (we don't have access to liquid nitrogen so our stocks are already at a less-than-ideal storage temperature) and most of our bacterial and yeast stocks. About 3-5 year's worth of work thawed out.

@quokka That is pretty terrible. I'm sorry for your loss.
