      The only bad thing I find about science is that sometimes it is hard to get money for your research and normally the money lasts a maximum of 3 years. This means you have to move around a lot as a scientist because you have to follow jobs around the world which I enjoy at the moment but I can imagine it might become tiring as I get older and want to buy a house!

      In terms of the actual science, though, I like everything- science is a huge benefit to society and should be given more credit!

      I think the only thing I don’t like about science is that sometimes it can be the most frustrating job. Since science is all about doing experiments, sometimes you can spend weeks, months or even years trying to get a particular experiment to work with no obvious reason as to why it’s not working. This can be one of the most interesting parts of science as you have to think about the reasons why this might happen, but it can just be really annoying.
