      That is can be VERY long! Sometimes it takes decades for researchers to get their answers.

      Also annoying is how long it takes to get things from scientific research to an actual product everyone can use in their daily lives.

      I love science an there are lots of things I don’t like too. It can be quite a stressful job, and there’s a lot of time and money pressures on new scientists to get results quickly. I don’t think this always very good for the scientists, or for the science, as it means people can get very stressed and rush their work.

      I don’t like having to do coding, I wish I’d started learning how to code at a younger age. In fact, I sometimes wish I was an astronomer living one hundred years ago, doing everything by eye and with paper and pen and not having to use computers!
