Lab Fire ~2 am Thanksgiving 2023 in our old lab, Biological Sciences Building Room 2178
Our adjacent room 2168 had far less damage but all the surviving equipment was disposed of during the ash remediation.
The source of the fire was this eppendorf centrifuge that was plugged in but not running. Fire investigators determined this was the source of the fire. Its aluminum rotor was completely melted, and only these charred pieces remained.
The old lab was completely gutted and only a few air purifiers occupy the former Schrader Lab.
2024 - The whole Schrader lab moved into Dr. Tamara Hendrickson's lab space in the Chemistry Department. Dr. Hendrickson generously let us use all her equipment, lab benches, and reagents while we filed an insurance claim and worked to restart all our research. The WSU chemistry department was incredibly supportive of the Schrader lab during this time (Huge thanks to Linz, Pflum, Bhagwat, Fehl, and Chow labs who have helped us figure out how to find and use all the equipment in the chem building). Huge thanks to Krystyn Purvis who helped us borrow some extra equipment from the undergraduate micro lab, and colleagues from the biological sciences department for letting my students use equipment in their labs.
Thankfully all of our -80 Freezer contents were saved!
