On March 28, the US State Department denied travel authorization for NASA scientist Dr. Amber Straughn to attend the Israel Physical Society's annual meeting at Bar-Ilan University where she was to be a keynote speaker. She was also scheduled to give a talk on Friday. This seems to confirm increasing tension between the current US administration and the Israeli government that has lapped over into scientific relations.
