      Well, worst thing that happened in science…

      I had worked for about 2 months making a molecule. I had it in a flask dissolved in some liquid and all I needed to do was evaporate the liquid. I attached it to the machine to evaporate and it fell off and all came out of the flask. It was basically not recoverable, so I had to start again. Groan!
