Often hearing that it’s not easy to be a Phd student, now I am gradually touching the essence of this comment. Now one main approach of my project came across the bottle neck. During not a short period, 8 out of 11 tests failed. The underlying meaning behind these numbers is scaring, which I would rather not go any further negative assumption at all. Let’s talk about the following story instead.
I have suspected the fish for quite a long time. Just a few days ago, my colleague failed to repeat this test either, which pushed us to my suspect a little bit closer. But I didn’t realize that to get a better pair of fish with more transgenic copies is so troublesome. I have to test the current fish one by one. Doing the work is easy, but how pair the right fish could be more like a luck thing. Well, now I can understand why some scientists would say doing research needs intelligence, patience and courage.
So, no matter what results I could get, award myself a big smile first. A good start can make the success faster.
