Daily life of a scientist in a nutshell...

Do you really want to 'fail better' in science? After years of grad school and postdocing, we become quite good at failing, such that a run-of-the-mill failure usually gets the job done. To fail better than usual can require a years of effort!

Speaking of failure: scratch the 'a' in that final sentence!

How ironic. (Maybe this is an example of postdoc-memory-induced failure.)

Postdocs? I thought this was about the midterm elections.
