U.S. Shouldn't Have Revoked Harvard Frog Embryo Researcher's Visa, Judge Says
Federal immigration authorities shouldn't have revoked the visa of a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School after she failed to declare frog embryos she was bringing home to her lab, a federal judge in Vermont ruled on Wednesday.
Kseniia Petrova, a biologist studying cell rejuvenation and longevity, was detained in February at Boston Logan International Airport after returning from a vacation to Paris, where she picked up specimens from a French lab to study at Harvard.
