| Discovery Notes | The soil sample containing Phrancesca was found in front of the Fresh Food Cafe, the freshman dining hall at Johns Hopkins University. It was found on October 3rd, 2016 at 3:05pm. It was 22.8 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit) outside. The soil was slightly damp, and I dug a little below the surface to collect the dirt. |
| Naming Notes | My name is Francesca. We're discovering PHages. Phages and Francesca start with the same sound, so I changed my name to incorporate phages. |
