      I guess everytime an experiment does not work, it’s a failure. So…. dozens of times! 😛

      It is true as Tatiana says, every time an experiment doesn’t quite work, you feel a bit down, but this is really very normal. In fact I am yet to meet a scientist for whom, everything always works. It’s the failures that help us to work out what might be going wrong.
