Naming NotesWe named this the ShipOfTheseus because our phage went through a process riddled with trial and error. The ShipOfTheseus is taken from the philosophical idea of the Ship of Theseus, which questions: If a ship is removed of all of its components, is it the same ship? Similarly, our phage went through multiple rounds of purification, and we started to question if we had the same phage
