      Hi sehifa,

      Science can be immensely frustrating, its great that you understand that, and sometime is can seem really hard to pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start again. But the thing that motivates me between all those tears is the knowledge that a) it feels amazing when it does work! and b) i think ive been given a real opportunity to do something good with my life, and it would be a waste to throw it all away. i have the chance to make a real difference to peoples lives and thats too good a thing to give up! 🙂
