Science is a road of failure, however those failures can also bring lessons. In this episode we re-visit the best answers to one of our career questions: Was there any failure that set you up for future success? Do you have a favourite failure?

You can hear phage researchers explaining what failure means for them in many different contexts (Paul Bollyky, Yves briers, Luis Melo, Colin Hill, Evelien Adriaenssens, Paul Turner, Lorenzo Corsini and Rob Lavigne).

This episode is one of our ways to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and to thank you for your support over this time.
