New record? In this small phage-hunt attempt plaques appeared 4 hours after starting !

(time for collecting samples and making an overnight culture to start with not counted, of course)

Still wrapping my head around the news that I was awarded a global Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship to study Enterococcal phages in collaboration with Duerkop Lab 🇺🇸 and Gabriel MF Almeida 🇳🇴.

Tried the shiny.rcg.sfu.ca/u/rdmorin/scho… a lot of people are talking about. Good to see 'virus' as main followed by 'phage' and 'mimivirus' - it is the viruses of microbes perspective I am aiming to achieve!

Now to add some 'marine' and 'arctic' there in the next years.
