Yeah, sometimes a good writen paper reads like a story. You can picture
in your mind how they started with a question, tried to solved it, and
how the result/machnism unfolds by doing various experiments. I
guess this is exactly what keeps me still in research, at least. It's
true that frastration takes a large part of research life (if not most
part:), but the fact that you are trying to solve a question is the
driven force deep inside. That's why every time we talk about our
research in the lab meeting, my PI let people repeat the questions they
are asking, both big pic and current, which is quite importent, I think
, to keep you from getting lost.

: I went the library for copying papers this afternoon. When I saw those great

: or 1980s,I was deeply moved. It is these papers, step by step,that lead us to
: understand various ion channels,and the electrophysiology of the nervous
: system. Those old pieces of paper, curves, histograms and tables are still
: telling vivian stories. I really admire them, not because they have a bunch of
: CNS papers, or their names carved in history of neuroscience, or those
: unachievable titles, but for their contributions to science itself.
