In my previous job, I was an assistant biologist at an agricultural research company. It was a contract research organization where our clients were typically biotech or chemical companies and we would test their new products, mainly pesticides, on different crops like corn, soybeans, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables. I was assigned the task of looking at the percent infection of leaf spot on cherry trees. After doing the assessment, I looked at the rating that had been done previously for that trial by one of my co-workers. Their rating showed a higher percentage of the disease than what I found and that creates a discrepancy which would be a huge problem when making the final report. To solve this, I went and found my co-worker and we both went out to the cherries to see what was going on. It turned out that my co-worker was looking at a different disease that looked very similar to the one that we were supposed to be looking for. Luckily, the data hadn't been entered yet so we were able to correct the problem before it caused a bigger issue.
