I was sitting in a dimly lit student research space in the top floor of EBE at the University of Missouri. It was almost one in the morning during the start of the fall semester in 2013. Looking over my shoulder I heard some quiet rustling ... and the only place it seemed to be coming from was the community fridge located on the side wall of the research space.
Curiously I walked over to the fridge and opened it. Immediately I was confronted with a horrendous smell. The inside of the fridge was crawling with insects who were enjoying the contents of a fridge which had been shut off for far too long.
