      Yes 🙁
      But it was good to know that things didn’t work so I didn’t do them again.

      A negative result is still a result in science. The way I look at it so I don’t get sad, is to remember that it helps other scientists to create more successful experiments, and they can advance knowledge at a faster pace in the future 🙂

      In science we learn from the failures of ourselves and others. the aim of a good scientist is to develop a hypotheses and try and disprove it.
