      So many of my experiments went wrong! That’s part of science – most of the things we do don’t work for one reason or another and we have to try and find out why and the way to make them work in the future. This can be very frustrating but also this is what makes science exciting. It’s a great feeling when you finally figure things out and get good results! This is also why scientists need to have a lot of resilience and problem solving skills to be able to cope with different issues. These skills are also useful in many other areas of life so being a scientist can prepare you for all sorts of life challenges 🙂
