When answering this question, focus on a specific instance where you encountered an issue with an experiment and the steps you took to resolve it. Start by briefly describing the experiment and its purpose. Then, detail the problem that arose and the troubleshooting steps you implemented. Highlight your analytical skills, attention to detail, and persistence. Conclude with the outcome and what you learned from the experience.
Example:
"In my previous role, I was conducting an experiment to study the effects of a new antibiotic on bacterial growth. Midway through the experiment, I noticed that the bacterial cultures were not growing as expected. I first checked the incubation conditions and confirmed that the temperature and humidity were within the required range. Next, I reviewed the preparation of the growth media and found that a key nutrient had been omitted. After correcting the media preparation, I restarted the experiment and monitored the cultures closely. The bacterial growth returned to expected levels, and I learned the importance of double-checking all components before starting an experiment."
