| Discovery Notes | The soil sample the phage was isolated from was from off a sidewalk near Florence Schneider Hall. The soil was rich, dry, and the spot the sample came from was surrounded by small trees and bushes. |
| Naming Notes | I named my phage after the famous physicist, Erwin Schrodinger, because of his thought experiment "Schrodinger's Cat", in which he mentions the hypothetical flexibility of life and death and in between. I like using this to parallel to my bacteriophage because of the discussions about the status of viruses in terms of being alive or not. |
