Discovery NotesI found this phage outside of the Fresh Food Cafe, the Johns Hopkins University Homewood cafeteria. It was under an abundance of plants, in a location with high foot traffic and probably increased microbe presence. It was collected on September 28th at 2:15.
Naming NotesI named this phage after myself because nobody knows how to pronounce my name so I deserve it, and I figured there wouldn't be another person with the same name. Ishu-d have come up with something more clever though.
