Question: Do you enjoy being a scientist?

Overall I do enjoy science I love the fact that I can be creative and problem solve. Just like any other profession, science does have its challenges. Sometimes you can work really hard and your experiments don’t give you the results you expect or results you can use to further your project. This can become frustrating when you hit a bit of a brick wall, however its through these challenges that science has taught me to be resilient and to approach problems using different strategies. On the other end of the spectrum when an experiment does work it is a really rewarding feeling because you have come up with a hypothesis and have successfully designed an experiment which proves this hypothesis.
