Discovery NotesThe soil sample containing Phrancesca was found in front of the Fresh Food Cafe, the freshman dining hall at Johns Hopkins University. It was found on October 3rd, 2016 at 3:05pm. It was 22.8 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit) outside. The soil was slightly damp, and I dug a little below the surface to collect the dirt.
Naming NotesMy name is Francesca. We're discovering PHages. Phages and Francesca start with the same sound, so I changed my name to incorporate phages.
