The first Q&A session!   Question of today: Is it OK to say, “I don’t know” in response to technical questions in an interview when you apply for a life-science research position in a laboratory? I will give you my answer and the reasons why.

Disclaimer: What I'm going to tell you is my personal opinion. It is possible that it does not apply to you in your own specific situation, in your program, in your own institution, and in your country. And each professor could have a different opinion. So, please listen to my comment, not as definitive advice, but just as a reference. I hope my comment will still serve you as a starting point for your thought.
