      I still struggle with this exact thing, I think it is referred to as imposter syndrome- where you feel like you are not clever enough to be a scientist and one day ‘they will find out’ that you’re not clever.

      If you feel this don’t worry, you’re not alone! We’ve all made it. Infact I don’t trust the people that seem too certain of what they’re saying and never seem to doubt themselves a little bit 😉
