Mаyа, а chemistry majоr, is paired with Vince fоr a semester-lоng research project. Their professor emphasizes that all results must be obtained through proper procedure, even if experiments need to be repeated multiple times. After their first few trials fail, Vince suggests they “estimate” the missing data based on online examples so they can move forward. Maya refuses because she knows that the rules for scientific experiments ensure the best outcomes overall.
