      Honestly, I’ve never thought about giving up being a scientist because something went wrong.
      Saying that, I’ll properbly not work in the lab forever mainly because as much as I enjoy research, there are many more areas of science you can work in and I’m considering one of those.
      I’ll still be a scientist just a different kind.

      Part of being a scientist is that sometimes, things do go wrong with your experiments and that’s something you have to learn to accept. It can be extremely frustrating when you’ve worked very hard on something and you don’t get the result you want, but I don’t think it would ever make me stop being a scientist 🙂

      I have joked about it but I never would. I enjoy it too much and the set backs only make the reward better when you do get it as you know you’ve worked hard for it 🙂

      Anything that goes wrong just makes me want to try harder!

      I would never stop being a scientist :)!
