Merry Youle, author of Thinking Like A Phage, Life in our Phage World, blogger emerita for Small Things Considered, and beloved member of the phage community, has sadly passed away.

Dr. Minmin Yen, PhagePro We're looking to explore the whole ecosystem of diarrheal disease prevention in low- and middle-income countries through short video interviews. We would particularly welcome those who are working on developing phag

Jeremy Barr, Monash University Hello everyone, due to the COVID-19 situation we will be postponing the Monash-UCSD Bacteriophage Symposium that was to be held in Melbourne on the 30th of March. We will instead explore online options and wil

We have a cow we suspect has Johne's disease (Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis infection). Does anyone have phages for this bacteria that might also infect M. smegmatis? Currently, there is no treatment; vaccine was discontinued in US a

Important question: if I had a student who wanted to make an undomesticated bacteriophage mutant that could not make plaques, other than conditionally, is there a way other than bashing plaque isolates at two temperatures after random mutag

I wish to find out from phage biologists on this platform what they would like to see in terms of metadata as a minimum for a characterised bacteriophage? Any comments can be sent to @AgendiaJuandem on twitter. Thanks
