Description
Is drawing fan art a valid response to scientific crises? Well, it is now.

So most of the past week, I've been struggling with data. Actually, all of the past week I have been struggling with data, because my results have a very peculiar pattern, and all the follow ups I ran- seemed to make it worse.
I said to my supervisor 'I just want simple results' and he said 'No you don't, that'd be boring.'

Which is absolutely right, but it's still a bit disheartening, having to ditch the earlier explanation and start again. Plus, while new exciting results could always indicate new exciting findings, it could also mean there is a massive methodological hole in the study which is letting in the bad things, so there's that as well.

ANYWAY, I think I've sorted it, but I ended up drawing this, because despite all received wisdom about scientific endeavour, sometimes you just want to get depressed, but this gets you nowhere. (And when LOKI is the one to point that out, it really is time to stop being a big girl's blouse and do science at it again.)
And it's ridiculous, but it's going on the noticeboard over my desk to remind me when it happens again, because it will.

This was done in biro, and half way through I lost the black pen, hence why it switches between blue and black. Most of the book titles (the clever ones, anyway) are real.
