An excellent observation. While I have never been in basic research like physics I worked in the computer and mobile hardware and software area. Even in my field, it was a critical skill to be able to learn things quickly and build things that had not been built before. Not only was it personally satisfying, it was also very rewarding in that I got to work on some of the most interesting projects. One thing I always joked about was one reason I was good at my job was that I could make mistakes faster than anyone I worked with. But, in fact, this was very key to my success. I could better understand problems by exploring multiple solutions and as I encountered those problems I found it provided a wonderful insight into how the systems might work together.Greg Bernhardt said:

The most important thing that I have learned is the value of continuous learning and growth. In today's rapidly changing world, it is crucial to always keep learning and adapting in order to stay relevant and successful.
One lesson that has had a significant impact on my life is the power of perseverance. Through facing challenges and overcoming obstacles, I have learned that persistence and determination are key to achieving success.
Learning from my mistakes has been an essential part of my development as a scientist. By analyzing and understanding my mistakes, I have been able to improve my methods and experiments, leading to more accurate and reliable results.
Collaboration is crucial in the learning process as it allows for the exchange of ideas and perspectives. Working with others who have different backgrounds and experiences can lead to new insights and a deeper understanding of a subject.
Critical thinking is essential in the learning process as it allows for the evaluation and analysis of information. By questioning and examining ideas and concepts, critical thinking helps to deepen understanding and develop new perspectives.
