Science is a lot of fucking around for a very small amount of finding out
@sydonahi could be my favourite post for quite some time
@sydonahi but it has high risk, high reward
@sydonahi but worth it in the long run.
@gdtrfb bank account and lack of pension fund disagrees

@sydonahi @pattykimura

Science…where every failure is a positive result…but frustrating as hell.

@sydonahi Thank you. I laughed so hard at this
@sydonahi That's because science is the long game. If we scientists wanted instant gratification, we'd be day-traders...
@sydonahi 🤣 Almost spit out my coffee on this one!!
@sydonahi Standing on the shoulders of giants..What’s found out often adds much as time goes on; we eventually see further..
@sydonahi ahhh but it’s the eventual conclusion that’s the thrill
@sydonahi But we’d be cowering in our yurts without it.
@sydonahi what if fucking around was fun and finding out was rewarding? 
@sydonahi @[email protected] Isn’t that what we do day in and day out? 🙈🤣
@lborrell yup that's the whole post my entire career in a nutshell

@sydonahi Advice from an undergraduate mentor of mine:

Science is minutes of euphoria separated by months or years of self doubt that you must have missed something
