Another compound failed in the lab this week, years of work gone. I have to walk into the team meeting and hold onto the belief that all this failing is somehow leading toward a cure. But I also can't lie to myself about how long the odds really are. Living in that gap, between hope and honesty, is the hardest part of the work.
More people experience this than they realize.
You struggle to keep faith that your failures serve healing without lying to yourself about the odds.
