  Yes. I have definitely made mistakes, or felt like I wasn’t good enough to be a scientist. Although I try my best, I worry that I have made a fundamental mistake in my thinking or in my science and everyone will wonder why I’m even still trying. There is a lot of that was internal pressure, telling myself I didn’t belong. I still struggle with that sometimes.

I know the question wasn’t asked of me, but I think many, many, many scientists feel the same way as Melissa. I’m one of them.
