@Jenn_Coughlan This one?
I am buying a -80 freezer. In my experience, this can be a hit or miss situation, so I wanted to ask the community here: What brand and recent model (that still exist on the US market) do you highly recommend? Which brand and model you do NOT recommend?

@ewanbirney @mathiesoniain @antonioregalado So I believe there are non-zero direct effects, and am happy to believe that directs effect component of PGS from UK have non-zero correlation with EA in South Korea. But do we know that this is true for the “indirect effects”?
