Why must scientists be confident?

On television, the scientist is able to find the answer every time and make amazing discoveries within the hour of the TV program. But in real life, it may take a long while to get a positive result... or you may not get one and you may need to abandon your hypothesis and try something new. As a scientist, you must be confident because otherwise, you will give up every time an experiment does not go well or a hypothesis does not work out. A scientist needs to believe in his or her ability to find the correct answer, and even when things seem difficult, the scientist should be able to keep pursuing the facts and not become too discouraged.

Why do scientist communicate findings?

The days are long past in which a scientist could carry forward knowledge of a field as a solo effort. Science is a collaborative project where thousands of individuals each contribute small pieces of a massive puzzle. An unpublished result is effectively cut off from this project and contributes nothing to the accumulation of knowledge. When one scientist publishes a finding, others are able to build upon it, incorporate its ideas, and adjust their on-going research accordingly. Scientists are constantly adjusting their own research plans in the light of the announcements by other scientists. A second reason for communication is that it permits outside verification and correction. Other scientists will be able to see the results and will often attempt to reproduce them. If other scientists succeed in reproducing the results, the certainty we may have in the data is greatly increased, if they fail to reproduce the results or find opposing results, then we have avoided placing excess certainty on a possibly invalid result. No one person has all the answers and by subjecting one's findings to assessment by the entire scientific community, others may correct, develop, and enhance one's findings. Lastly, there are the real world personal and economic reasons. Scientists may be involved in the pursuit of knowledge, but most are also in the pursuit of fame and job security. For a professional scientist (and virtually all scientists earn their livings through research) to not publish their findings is comparable to a real estate agent not selling houses. Their pay, their prestige, their careers are entirely dependent upon their ability to publish their results. One of the primary criteria used by peers and research institutions to judge a scientist's merits is by the quality of their publications. Thus, a scientist who does not communicate their findings is a scientist who has absolutely no respect from his or her peers and is also a scientist who's bosses and funding agencies are no doubt beginning to wonder what that scientist is doing with all the money they're giving him/her. A scientist without a track record of quality publications is a scientist who will not be able to secure funding and not be able attract high quality students and researchers to their lab.
