I have had other colleagues from Europe tell me they simply will not attend conferences in the US for the foreseeable future because they no longer feel welcome.

We sequenced the genome of the Phytophthora infestans from that particular historical sample back in 2013 to characterize the genetic makeup of the strain that cause the pandemic outbreak of potato late blight. elifesciences.org/articles/00731 @kamounlab.bsky.social
The rise and fall of the Phytophthora infestans lineage that triggered the Irish potato famine
The strain of Phytophthora infestans that caused the Great Famine in the late 1840s was caused by a single genotype that is distinct from, but closely related to, the most prevalent modern genotype.
