 1994\, the Food and Agriculture Organization of th
 e United Nations (FAO) published the FAO Plant Pro
 tection Bulletin as an ‘official’ outlet for repor
 ting outbreaks of plant pests and pathogens. Like 
 other scientific serials\, the Bulletin served not
  only as an informational service but also as a si
 te for developing a scientific community—in this c
 ase\, a global community of plant protection resea
 rchers. By promptly reporting outbreaks\, these ex
 perts declared their commitment to transparency\, 
 interdisciplinarity\, and transnational cooperatio
 n in the name of global food security. This\, howe
 ver\, came at a cost: reports of serious new pests
  could prompt a nation's trading partners to quara
 ntine or ban its exports. I will explore how plant
  protection researchers navigated this tension\, b
 alancing their own professional priorities with th
 eir nation's economic and political interests. \n\
