Scientists come in all shapes and colors, just like other people. Spending a lot of time on your own in a lab, however, does not hone your social skills.

But one of the most important aspects of science is communication! The best scientists are either excellent communicators or need someone else to do their communication for them.

Scientists have to communicate their research results in many ways. It is usually even a requirement for getting funding. Scientists are constantly competing to get money so they can do their research, and communication is a big factor in that competition.

So they write for their colleagues and give talks for their colleagues, including research sponsors, but they also blog, show up on TV, and in pubs, and cafes, to talk about and show what they do.

Some write books - not just text books but also - and others create games or DVDs.

But when you meet a scientist and he or she talks with you, and you have no clue what the person is going on about... just say so! Interrupt, if you must, and tell the person when they didn't really listen to what you said. Communication is a two-way street.

Sure, there is a lot of jargon in science. But it is no different than calling a house a house and car a car because it is just too complicated to describe it every time. To scientists, the jargon is just as familiar as words like house and car.

Identity refers to the characteristics and traits that define who a person is, such as their gender, ethnicity, and cultural background. Personality, on the other hand, refers to the unique set of traits and behaviors that make up an individual's character, such as being outgoing or introverted. Both identity and personality play a significant role in shaping an individual's sense of self.

Why scientists often test the conclusion of other scientists?

Scientists do that because they are skeptical about other scientists' work. They do not usually believe what other scientists have concluded, so other scientists come up with a hypothesis (or simply state a question) as to contradict, or theorize why another scientists' work and conclusions are wrong. In short: Scientists are skeptical and do not believe what another scientist has come up with as a conclusion.
