Sometimes experiments don’t work they way you want them to. That can be really frustrating! But it makes it all the more exciting when the experiment finally does work and you discover something cool!
In research you have to repeat your experiments a couple of times to prove that your result is actually correct and not some freaky accident. If your experiment doesn’t work then you have to repeat it again and again and again while you try to fix it, until either it works or you give up. So it can be a bit frustrating.
Also, I find it hard sometimes to explain my results or to know what to do next, but I think this is something you learn with experience. There are lots of people in the Lab to help though and it does feel good when you’ve done the work and you find out something interesting.
I don’t like the fact that we often don’t share everything. There are a lot of experiments that are kept secret because scientists compete with each other, or have to keep results secret to make money off the discoveries. Keeping things secret slows science down. Sometimes its necessary, but most of the time it’s not. We’re trying to show that science goes faster when you share everything with everyone.
There are a few things I don’t like about science but luckily this is shorter than the list of why I like science.
1) Experiments going wrong. It’s frustrating especially after spending a lot of time and energy working on the experiment. Sometimes it leads to new discoveries, but mostly it’s going back the to the start and figuring out what happened.
2) Keeping results secret to make money. I’ve worked for companies where I did research that I can never tell anyone because that was part of the job and even though I am no longer in those jobs I still cannot tell anyone what I did. It’s very frustrating.
3) Science is in every part of our lives that it’s so easy to take it for granted until something goes wrong. I do this sometimes. I don’t like it but it does happen from time to time.

Usually the community of science is cooperative and sharing. But sometimes, there is unhealthy competition, secrecy and rivalry.
