Naming NotesMy lab partner and I took inspiration for the iconic Disney channel tv show: Phineas and Ferb. Although I wanted to name by phage "Phineas," unfortunately this name was already taken. So instead, I took inspiration from this name and my love of the musical artist "Finneas" in the naming process -- resulting in "Finneas" the phage. However, since this name was too close to "Phineas" I just changed it to the name of another artist I really like, Ruel.
