One of my favourite genres of scientific discoveries is when someone uses genetics to knock out a gene or a process that, based on a vast body of literature, is just assumed to be absolutely essential for VERY IMPORTANT STUFF and they find that?...the animals are mostly fine.....

Australia has become the first country to offer self-testing swabs for cervical cancer screening. As of today, all eligible women just need to visit their GP and can choose to perform a self-test at the practice without a doctor present. ow.ly/mNXz50JMe99

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.
