If my experiment fails (and it’s normal that they do for most scientists) i feel a bit sad, but then i knuckle down and try to work out why and how i can fix it. sometimes i can fix it easily. one time it took me several months of testing one thing after another on a weeklong experiment before we found at i needed to do a step at room temperature not in the fridge. one thing i am working on i have been trying new things on and off for two years! but I think i am finally making progress on it at last.

Usually I eat some Nutella, or have some tea, and take a little break to calm down and figure out what has gone wrong. I might need to set up my experiment differently, or be more careful with what I am doing. I also sometimes ask other people for advice, if they have done the experiment before to figure out why theirs worked but mine didn’t.

I have a loud sigh…. then start backtracking and work out if I had made a mistake or what else went wrong. I would then think about what I can do differently, compare to what other people had done and try, try again!
