      I hope that some of my ideas are brilliant! The thing about science is that it is about having ideas and then going and testing them. Ideas are great, but a scientist’s job is to look for evidence to back up their ideas. You may have a great idea that you really love, but if the evidence doesn’t support it, you should admit it was not correct.
