      Yes, many of them actually. Most of them turn out to be wrong but some of them were good.

      I will tell you about one of them:

      I saw the small molecule I was using called TENin1 caused plants to grow in random direction.

      I had an idea that TENin1 was disturbing the balance of plant hormone auxin which helps plant to recognise gravity in plants. After 4 years of investigation, I found out this was true!

      Pretty cool *but very slow* isn’t it?
