| Discovery Notes | -5.56 Degrees Celsius (22 Degrees Fahrenheit), 1:15PM Ground was frozen and soil was taken in close proximity to the surface (approximately 10cm). Physical Characteristics: - Dark brown - Has some rocks and wooden sticks - Some pieces are clumped together because of the frozen nature of the ground - Had a hard texture when collecting - The soil is slightly wet because the ground was frozen with ice which melted - Was full of organic matter (not sandy) |
| Naming Notes | I named my phage after my the town where my Italian grandmother was born. She was born in Pescara, Italy, a small rural fishing town in Central Italy in 1945 and she has had such an impact on my life to allow me to be the person I have become today. Without her guidance and support as a child, I would never have found the courage and strength to succeed academically or accomplished what I have in this program. |
