      Writing papers, it has to be done but I don’t enjoy it.

      Haha, the Grinch would ask a question about dislikes!

      There is a lot of competition for the better jobs in universities in science, which means you have to work very long hours if you want to be the best. There can be a lot of stress that comes when you do a PhD, I don’t like that!

      Finding mistakes in calculations is pretty tedious. It’s great when you’ve found and fixed them and everything makes sense.

      I don’t like that there is so much of it, I can’t know EVERYTHING T_T
      .
      My mind is just too small to fit it all in, and I don’t have enough time in my entire life… and there are SO MANY awesome things I wish I could learn more about, and we keep discovering even more!!!

      I don’t like all the reading you have to do to keep up to date with all the research happening around the world. Writing up your experiments into papers can get boring too.
