      hahaha if I could only name one! I have had so many failed experiments. That’s what science is though. Its learning from your mistakes.
      As an example, this one time I accidentally contaminated my cells, didn’t realize it, did all the experiments on the contaminated cells, and the results were a big question mark that left me scratching my head.

      I often think that farmers have to be eternal optimists to deal with challenges such as drought, floods, working all year around etc, and I think scientists are the same. In order to keep our spirits up, we dont want to admit failure and will always find something useful in our results!
