      I think this question needs a blues song. “I done wrong, my sci left me…”

      If you mean, have I ever made mistakes, absolutely! If you mean, do I regret being a scientist, definitely not!

      Any clarification, Bella & Kaite?

      Everyone goes wrong sometimes – if you never get a wrong answer then you’re not pushing yourself hard enough! Even Albert Einstein thought he made mistakes and second guessed himself.

      Einstein famously said that “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

      I like to try and remember that when I make mistakes 🙂

      Yes. I make mistakes all the time. But that’s how you learn. It’s annoying though when you mess up a simulation, because you can spend months running something, only to have to run it again!
