Question: how many problems have you solved?

It’s difficult to say how many exactly. As scientists, we have to constantly solve different types of problems. Most of the time, we don’t solve problems alone as we ask each other for help. Different scientists have experience with different experiments and so it’s a good idea to ask different people for information about the problem you have and this helps you solve it. Often, the work we do hasn’t been done before so it can be difficult trying to find the answers, but that’s part of the job!
