Research

I guess as a scientist I should write something about science or something scientific right?

So science is.............. uummhh............ uummmhhhh..... uuummmmhhhh..... ;) Just joking still I know what science is :D!!

I am an aspiring chemist and for the life me I can not understand why on God's green earth my reactions wont work!!!! We would sit and work out a scheme, brilliant on paper, with the utmost surety that this is definitely going to give good results. Then we get to the bench and....................

Every week I meet with my supervisor and its the same old thing. "Oh I tried so and so and it didn't work. I worked up the other reaction and I saw only starting material on the TLC." I think that I can safely say for me and my group members "We fed up!!!"

Even following the scheme outlined in a journal I cant seem to get good results. Mmmmhhh, I wonder if they forgot to mention out some minor detail! Sometimes I have to wonder if these papers are accurate.

I believe I have enough information to write a whole book on reactions and conditions that don't work. I'd call it "Reactions that Don't Work- Don't Waste Your Time". I'm sure that there are a lot of people out there that would be glad to be saved from the heartache.

Well I am here trying to press on. Hopefully I'll get a break through soon. Pray for me!!
