Question: is it hard being a scientist ?

Sophie Nedelec answered on 4 Nov 2016:

Yes and no! Sometimes its hard because you get stuck and everyone is busy so they can’t help you and you have to figure things out by yourself… but then when you finally figure out the answer to your problem you feel a sense of achievement. When your work is related to real world problems then you feel like it is all worthwhile in the grand scheme of things. I love it so I find it easier than doing something I didn’t like.
