      Yes, sometimes I might question whether something was done in the best way or if someone has interpreted the findings correctly. You can challenge people in a nice way and get a discussion going to work out the best way forward.

      All the time 🙂 It’s normal in science for people to disagree. Sometimes it’s just small things – like what the result from a particular experiment means, or maybe it’s something bigger, like how we should use scientist, what kind of research should be done.

      Sometimes. There’s some people doing really strange research in astronomy, for example, there’s one person who has spent his life trying to prove that black holes don’t exist. Most scientists disagree with him.
