| Discovery Notes | The plate displays a series of clear plaques, where sea phages have infected and lysed bacterial cells. These translucent zones stand out against the cloudy bacterial growth, showing the phages' active replication and host-specific activity. |
| Naming Notes | I named my sea phage "TimTim1" as a playful yet intentional homage to both the unpredictability of nature and the personal significance of discovery. "TimTim" draws inspiration from the combination of familiarity and curiosity, much like how a name can hold multiple layers of meaning. The repetition of "Tim" evokes the idea of recursion, reflecting the way viruses often replicate in nature, while "1" symbolizes the beginning of an important journey, the first step in understanding this particular phage’s potential. The name strikes a balance between scientific exploration and a touch of personal flair, reminding me that even in the most rigorous study, a bit of creativity can give rise to the most insightful discoveries. |
