What a drag! Does it impact your grade when the supervisors give you the wrong chemicals?
I know you say you can't rely on others - but is there anything you could have done in this instance to check the chemicals before you used them? I hope this doesn't fall under the "tough it up, life ain't fair" part of your education!
There's honestly nothing I could have done. Good thing is that I just have to write a good report. It's the lab report that determines my grade.
Thank god, because today everything failed again
Well, you know how to write well, so no problem there! I guess you'd just better be diplomatic when you explain the source of the problems...
Have you read Three Body Problem by Cixin Lu? It starts out with all these physicists getting crazy garbage results because the laws of nature are being messed with by alien interference. Maybe something like that's going on over there in Europe?
Not yet but it sounds fun!
Really highly recommended - the mind-expanding kind of SF that leaves you thinking for days.
