When students read articles about scientific discovery，they learn what worked. Scientists present the methods that got the best result. They often show only the results that are significant and they won’t show are the mistakes or failures that came first. Yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.

It can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success. Robbin,16，and Annabelle,15，learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at Stony Brook University in New York. What’s more，they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear.

“I like the idea of scientific research，” says Robbin. It’s the basis  for  “every  lesson  you  learn  in  school  and understanding everything you see in life”．This summer，Robbin has been working with Lauren，a chemistry student，who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria（细菌). At first，the tests made Robbin anxious. She worried that she might be making costly mistakes. But Lauren comforted her that finding out what doesn’t work is “just part of the learning process”．With time，the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldn’t succeed.

Annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. She worked with graduate student Agnieszka Gil. “Sometimes I  try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run.” This means that finding out whether Annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game，because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again ”．But she’s now learning to be patient and not to expect immediate success.

In science，figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success.
