How to 'infect' students with a love of science

entire phage population."

In addition to its research on phage genomics, the paper also covered the ideal attributes of a program for getting students into science: simplicity, flexibility, and ownership. Hatfull believes phages are an ideal platform for discovery-based education.

"Phages are an absolute gold mine of interesting biological processes and events," he said. "Studying individual phages at the genomic level gives you insight into how evolution works." And they may provide the answer to getting more Andrew Hrykowians infected with a love of science.

Also involved in the research were Pitt Biological Sciences Professors Roger Hendrix and Craig Peebles and Associate Professor Jeffrey Lawrence.
