Wesleyan fire update

This morning's fire in a Wesleyan science building damaged or destroyed at least six research laboratories, and has left about half of the labs and classrooms in the Chemistry and Molecular Biology Departments without power. Wesleyan physical plant staff are on hand to assess the damage, restore power, and begin the clean-up process.

Research scientists in the affected laboratories, including professors, PhD students, and lab technicians, are scrambling to protect their ongoing research projects.
