  Science can often be frustrating. Most experiments have problems, for instance one of our sensors might fail and we might lose days, or even months worth of measurements.
  
  It is often tempting to give up, but you have to keep going! The satisfaction you get afterwards is proportional to how hard it was to do, and in science anyway, if it was easy, someone would have already done it!
