Pharma lab loses valuable gold stash
Here’s a lesson for those who don’t keep careful track of their lab supplies. A medical lab at Pfizer’s Research and Development Center in Chesterfield, Missouri, has allegedly lost up to $700,000 worth of gold dust bought last year, the St-Louis Post Dispatch reports. According to the newspaper, a keen-eyed Pfizer auditor was unable to account for some or all of the stash while conducting an inventory; police aren’t sure whether the missing amount was lost, stolen, or used in experiments without a record being kept.
