Question: Do all scientists do the same experiments or do all scientists do different experiments? If you do the same experiments do you all know that you are doing the same experiment?

Every scientist is usually working on a different question (although there are sometimes people in different parts of the world working on the same thing who are racing to get there first).
We often use the same techniques to get to our answer. Like Lynne said, everybody in this “I’m a Scientist” zone goes to Diamond Light Source for some our experiments.
We also work in groups – a few people doing very similar work. It’s likely that you use very similar techniques to other people working in your group.
