#plantsci if you’re concerned about this (as I am) please consider @cspbscbv.bsky.social as an alternative to the annual ASPB meetings (ICAR in 🇧🇪 is already at full capacity). imo a much nicer (read: 🇨🇦 ) vibe too :)

The cell phone searches and random detentions at the border are going to have long-term negative effects on the US.
