"At the #FDA, labs that analyze samples to ensure that #food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics are #safe and meet regulatory standards are already facing shortages...

to keep ultra-cold freezers running. These freezers preserve samples of cells and other biological material that reflect years, and sometimes decades, of #research. Delays in getting liquid nitrogen tanks could destroy that material."

Text from article (edited for length): ..."Now we are running out, asking colleagues at other offices to share what they might not be using,” they told WIRED. In addition, workers say FDA labs now have to go through a lengthy process to order liquid nitrogen, which is used to keep ultra-cold freezers running. These freezers preserve samples of cells and other biological material that reflect years, and sometimes decades, of research. Delays in getting liquid nitrogen tanks could destroy that material. Previously, new tanks could usually be acquired the same day as putting in a request. Now, it takes a week or so to receive a tank after initiating a request. An employee at the Environmental Protection Agency says her facility is not able to place regular orders of liquid nitrogen at the moment. “We have dozens of these freezers full of important environmental samples that are imminently at risk of being lost because we can no longer get our regular shipments of liquid nitrogen,” says the employee, who requested anonymity. These samples are used as part of research on detection and remediation methods for chemicals such as PFAS, which are found in many products and break down very slowly over time. “Scientists are being forced to jerry-rig the connection points on these freezers to accept pressures of liquid nitrogen they were not designed to handle,” the employee says. “Divisions are resorting to bartering with each other to obtain needed items.”

After some previous testing of Tiko's new harness and safety cable, his owner Cozna made a modification to his tongue stud so that a carabiner could be attached. Tiko could now safely spend time in Cozna's mouth while the big guy naps and not worry about being accidentally swallowed. And tonight he decided to try spending the whole night sleeping inside his sourang friend's spacious mouth. That enormous tongue makes for quite the comfortable bed!
