Kseniia Petrova is the Russian scientist who came to the US in 2023 to study biology ...
... and three months ago was detained by ICE after failing to delcare some frog biological samples she took from France into the US
(an infraction that normally has a fine of $50 to $500)
She's still in ICE detention
she wrote a fantastic op-ed that focuses on her science -- a remarkable new form of imaging with huge promise for mitigating disease
