Part 1 of a poem by a visitor, it reads:
I am a happy bacterium
But now on my skin
I feel the tiny touches
Of something fearful
Trying to come in
Oh help! I cry
What will become of me?
I'm defenceless, and this phage wants its tea!
Part 2 of poem by visitor, it reads:
But WHY am I defenceless still?
Do I exist only so phages can kill?
Surely my armour can soon improve,
And my sword can soon these phages remove!

This #WorldPhageWeek, we are looking back to the #BritishScienceFestival and some of the brilliant phage drawings, comments, and poems created by visitors to our stand. A collab between @liverpooluni.bsky.social and @salforduni.bsky.social. Festival run by @britsciassoc.bsky.social
