Question: Has any of your projects gone wrong

Absolutely! When I was a PhD student I was working with a version of my fungus that needed a little extra support to grow (a specific nutrient in its growing media) so that I could give it a copy of a gene it needed to survive without that support. I either wasn’t really thinking or thought it would instantly take up the gene and be okay, fortunately my boss was clever and helped me work it out 🙂
