I suck at research

Im working on a project in a biology lab this summer and it’s my first lab experience. For the past 3 weeks, I’ve been working on the same experiment over and over again trying to get working results, but I keep on messing up the pipetting and the mixing in the wells. I’m also not quick enough at times and the machine missed the crucial reading. I feel like at this point, the principal investigator is just like maybe this person isn’t cut out for science or like this is the easiest experiment to do, why is she messing up. Idk I just feel very incompetent and frustrated. Any tips, advice, empathy, etc would be welcome
