| Discovery Notes | The sample was collected on February 14th, 2018 from a patch of dirt outside of the Fresh Food Cafe, a cafeteria on Johns Hopkins University campus. The dirt patch had a few scattered plants, a small amount of grass, and the soil was fairly damp. The temperature on the day the sample was collected was 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and slightly cloudy. |
| Naming Notes | I chose the name Eiffel for my phage after the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This was because my phage looked like a cute little tower, and although phages are microscopic, I felt it deserved a mighty name. |
