Disempowered

To the folks over at Facilities: When the power goes out unexpectedly, there is a reason why you get a series of frantic emails from our department. It's not just because we're personally uncomfortable when the A/C fails in 95 degree weather. It's actually because we have irreplaceable samples and reagents that need to be kept very very cold as well as animals who develop, behave, and even survive differentially when they aren't maintained at the proper temperature. We realize that the students pay an enormous amount of money to be here while we are mere employees, but please, please consider making our building more of a priority in these situations. Thank you.

To the administration: YES WE DO NEED BACK-UP GENERATORS FOR OUR EXPENSIVE LAB EQUIPMENT, GODDAMMIT.
