The pathogen is a fungus that causes blight on wheat and barley crops. No idea what the plan was, but bringing that to the Midwest could have been bad if released.
It was a post-doc student who wanted to continue his research at UMich on the fungus to develop ways to prevent blight. His peer-reviewed published research on the topic is available through google scholar: Google Scholar Link. He was wrong to try and sneak it in, but this looks like a dedicated scientific researcher making a bad decision - not an attempted terrorist attack.
While I'd love to believe that, the article quotes the doctor as saying he did not bring it intentionally and thinks someone else put it in his bag
giving them benefit of doubt - they still fucked up. they should get a permit with help of their PI and bring it in overtly with all proper paperwork
The last of us 3?

That could be apocalyptic for our food supply
Honestly? Chicken Little didn't scream as loudly as you have over this.
I'm stating facts friend. That's literally the pathogen that was brought over. And the main area for growing our grain crops is the Midwest. Don't be so overtly ignorant.
