      It can be at times. In research you are trying new things which sometimes just don’t work and that can be frustrating. Luckily we tend to work in teams so there are always lots of people to help if you are struggling with something 🙂

      In many ways, it has to be. If it was easy, everyone would already know it!

      Being a scientist means you need to look for the unknown and difficult things, and try to work out why they are the way they are.
