Hi everyone,

I am a Master of Science student at a public university and this is my predicament in research.

Having been studying for the past 1 1/2 years, I am starting to feel as if I am losing motivation and becoming stuck in a phase of my research without moving much forward. Very often this is frustrating because I could not obtain a good enough results - feeling like I am wasting much precious time and I am starting to wonder if my methods work or if I am really cut out to be a researcher. Lab has begun to feel like a chore; repeating same things everyday without much progress.

I am hoping to find some light here; wondering if there are people out there who are currently in scientific research or studying a research degree who can share their experiences and enlighten me on how to get out of a research rut - thanks for reading and thank you very much for sharing!
