| Naming Notes | "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" is one of my favorite movies which includes themes of misunderstanding life around us, specifically humans feared giant insects called "Ohmu" thinking they were aggressive toward mankind and dangerous. The Ohmu were misunderstood and so I named my phage after them because like the Ohmu, we do not understand bacteriophages and I hope that we may grow in our understanding of them and their importance to humanity. |
