This Faberge phage craft activity designed by @sianowen.bsky.social @hallison67, @livuni-ives.bsky.social helps people learn about the shape of these tiny virus allies. Download a cardboard template to make your own and bling them up with sticky gems to represent proteins on the virus particles:

There are roughly a trillion #phages for every grain of sand on the planet. Just around one tenth the size of the bacteria they infect. #phages can only be visualised using powerful electron microscopy.
