      Sometimes experiments don’t go as you planned and it can be very annoying. But you just have to keep trying or know when to give up and try something new!

      Also, because I am getting a qualification, I have my final exam next week! It’s quite scary!

    I agree with Sarah, sometimes things don’t go to plan. Sometimes there are reasons why your idea won’t work, and it would be good for other scientists to know that it doesn’t work so that they don’t use up time trying, but in science people don’t always appreciate you sharing your failures as much as your achievements and that is something lots of scientits are trying to change because they are both as important.
