Discovery NotesFound in front of an apartment building, by the meeting of a sidewalk, grass, and

Naming NotesWe chose this name because one of
us had a pet duck at one point
growing up and taking care of this
living thing brought up memories of
that, and the tape aspect is because
Duck Tape is reliable and durable
which we hope our phage will be.
