What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?

Failure and negative results are a normal and valuable part of research.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, gather feedback, or seek guidance from people around you.

How much you get out of the experience depends on how much you put into it, so take initiative and engage fully.

Don't give up! If you need to try it a second time, try it a second time, or third, fourth, and more.
