| Naming Notes | My phage is named after the popular 1981 video game, Galaga. As a child, I really enjoyed playing this game with my family. Galaga takes place in space, which is filled with unknowns, much like the world of bacteriophages. I named my phage Galaga as a result of the parallels that can be drawn between space and scientific discovery, as well as my general enjoyment of the game itself. |
