| Naming Notes | When confronting the idea of naming my phage, I enlisted the help of my mother to think of possibilities. She immediately suggested I name it a derivative of my childhood nickname, Bubba. I dedicate my phage and all of the hard work that went into isolating it to my mother, a stage four breast cancer survivor of sixteen years and counting. Keep on fighting |
