      For me the research did one thing. The opportunity to (hopefully) learn something more than what was available on the printed page (or to confirm that what was offered was true).

      That’s you can being wrong is a valid result. It was one of the most important lesson I learned during my PhD.

      That research ideas can be applied to real world issues to help solve problems. E.g. how to make a certain drug can really improve many people’s quality of life.

      That things usually go wrong first! You then have to work out what the problem is, make a change and try again. If it works then great! otherwise you have to try again and again until the problem is solved. It can be frustrating but you get a real sense of achievement when you get to the solution.

      Quantum entaglement! Basically, if two particles are quantum entangled, no matter how far apart they are – even light years apart – they will still respond as a pair instantanously! This means quantum entaglement is faster than the speed of light! :O

      The fundamental biological processes which are too complex are exciting
