      I think the hardest thing is when things go wrong. Most of the time you know what the problem is and you can fix it. But sometimes you dont know what’s gone wrong and that can be frustrating

      Many scientists get this feeling. It a feeling that you aren’t good enough and people around you are more clever. When we are surrounded by people who we ‘think’ are achieving more than what we are, it can be difficult. The way around it? Talking to other people about our work, they usually feel the same way as us!

      I’d go along the lines of Sian, most of the time what you try doesn’t work. And when it doesn’t work, you have to prove by many ways that it’s not because you did something wrong. It takes a lot of time and it can be quite frustrating.
