1. To evaluate each others' methodology.
2. To combine knowledge from different areas to build up greater knowledge banks so we aren't being redundant.
3. To generate new ideas.

The purpose of communicating scientific information is so that information can be used to prove other reasonable scientific inferences.

∙ 12y agoNo scientist knows everything or can do everything. Communication between scientists takes two forms. The first is informal communication or personal communication. This just involves talking to other scientists in the lunchroom or ringing or by e-mail to get ideas and solve problems.
The second is formal communication through writing papers in journals or presentations at a conference. Form this scientists can see if the work they are attempting has already been done in part or in full. They can then follow the work that has been done before by adding to it. There is no point in repeating somebody elses research that was done years ago. Another purpose of journal publication is to see if the work published can be repeated by someone else in another lab. Science isn't really valid unless it can be repeated somewhere else.
There should be enough information in the journal paper to repeat the results exactly if that is not possible then questions will be asked. A scientist will first contact the author to clarify and sort out any mistakes or omissions and then try again. If they are unsuccessful then they may publish disputing the results in the original paper. (they will be diplomatic saying something like "unlike author Dr A we found that something else happened") Without communication science wouldn't proceed at any pace as every scientist would be working isolation. As Newton said "If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants" meaning he could only do the great things he did by following the work of those that came before him.

Which scientific skill involved sharing what you learned with others?
communicating
Is communicating the results a step of the scientific method?
Formally for a theory answer, no. In practice, yes. A very important part of the process of science requires that other researchers test new theories of others, which requires that it be communicated.
What is the sharing of ideas and experimental findings with others through writing and speaking called in science?
it is communicating.
What did the nativists use scientific ideas to argue?
they gave reasons to say that some races are weaker than others
How is evolution scientifically disputed?
It is NOT scientifically disputed as the overwhelming number of scientists accept evolutionary theory. Those scientists, and others, that do not accept the theory do so for religiously ideological reasons, though they try to rationalize this by pseudo scientific proposals.

Why is it important to focus actively on what others are communicating?
so that you can get a full understanding of the situation at hand
What is a sentence for netiquette?
Understanding netiquette guidelines when communicating on the world wide web with friends, family, and others can be extremely important.
How did nativist make use of scientific ideas?
they gave reasons to say that some races are weaker than others
Why is it important to seem confident when communicating to others?
Because they don't have to talk to you. It's up to you to entyce them to find out about you. Otherwise you can become a loner.

Why is it important to adapt the way you communicate to meet the needs of others?
If you don't adapt the way you communicate to meet the needs of others, you are not communicating; you might as well be talking to yourself, and probably are.
