Naming NotesAbby and I decided to name our phage "LetsGetWeird" because we wanted to honor all of the abnormalities and errors that occurred over the semester as we preformed the various procedures that led to its discovery and classification. We thought it effectively conveyed the potential findings and mistakes in an enthusiastic and positive manner; mainly because we feel the word "weird" has more of a "unique" or "eccentric" connotation attached to it, rather than a negative one.
