Day 24, Magic. Finding something new in science feels like magic at times. #Drawtober #SciArt #PhageSky

Day 5, Moon. The physical structures of phages are often compared to the shape and landing action of a lunar lander, with tail fibres reminiscent of the landing struts, to gently settle on the surface of its host. #Drawtober #SciArt #Phagesky

Time for another poster session here at #EESMicrobiology! 💫The ATC is buzzing with the sound of science 🧬

Presenting a poster at #EESMICROBIOLOGY today. Come by to talk about #jumbophage s at poster 204!

Esther Lederberg pioneered bacterial genetics, discovering the lambda phage, which revolutionized microbiology & antibiotic research. 🧫🔬 Her work was often overlooked or attributed to her husband, Joshua Lederberg, who won the Nobel Prize in 1958. #WomenInHistory #WomenInSTEM
