      The irritating thing is that it can sometimes make you feel really stupid and like you don’t know what you’re doing! But then you remember that what you are finding out is new, so nobody else understands it either.

      “If we knew what we were doing we would not call it research,” said Einstein!

      Science can be really annoying sometimes, the doing of it, sometimes experiments aren’t working and you can’t work out why – that can get annoying!! But it’s balanced out by how awesome it can be when it does work.

      yes, sometimes! mainly when I don’t understand something, or I also get a bit annoyed if other scientists don’t try hard to explain their work (not that I’m perfect on that front!)

      very often, when a problem is too difficult to sovle, or experiments behave differently from day to day

      Plenty of times, especially when an experiment goes wrong. But a good result makes up for 20 fails 😉
