      Well, at first it is very frustrating! An important skill to learn in science is patience, and I’ve certainly had to become a more patient to deal with experiments going wrong. Patience is an important skill to have in all areas of life, so science helps me learn this too!

      Sometimes an experiment may not seem to have worked well, but if I look at the data later on, compared to other experiments, it may suddenly make sense! One thing I have learned is not to ignore any results, even if they are not what you expect.
