Question: does your experiments always go as planned

So far, most of them are go as planned. But because the whole research process involves lots of steps (including looking for the appropriate species to study a question, to design an experiment, to data collection, data storage and management and report writing etc), failure could happen in any of these steps. So it is always good to have a back-up plan or having the ‘what-if’ this bit goes wrong mindset…
