Question: Have you had a breakthrough in your type of work?

I haven’t had any really big breakthroughs like discovering new drugs or anything like that. But i have had small breakthroughs, like getting an experiment to work that didn’t work (harder than you think), repeating an experiment another scientist has done (also harder than you think), and as im quite a new scientist being asked to work on a paper has been a breakthrough for me as it’s brand new for me (and exciting!)
