Question: do you dislike anything about being a scientist?

I wouldn’t say I strongly dislike any part of it. But sometimes working on new projects can be frustrating because no one has ever done them before. This means that you have to invent all the methods for carrying out the project and achieving your final goal. The methods that you design don’t always work first time and it can be a struggle to keep on with it. Luckily by just re-working your ideas and methods you can usually find a way of achieving your project and then it’s all worth it!!
