Embarrassment in the World of Science: A Common Occurrence for All

  • Thread starter Silvio Macedo

In summary, embarrassment is a common occurrence in the world of science for all individuals. It can happen at any stage of the scientific process, from conducting experiments to presenting findings. Factors such as peer pressure, high expectations, and the pressure to succeed can contribute to feelings of embarrassment. However, it is important for scientists to embrace and learn from their mistakes in order to make progress and contribute to the advancement of knowledge. Embarrassment should not be seen as a negative aspect of science, but rather as a natural part of the scientific journey.

Hi! This is one of the few forums I registered and used my real name!
I'm an electrical and computer engineer, with very poor knowledge of physics.
I'll try not to waste your time and to avoid embarrassing myself too much.
Thanks
