Question

why is it important for scientists to share their findings in understanding of the relationship between science and society?

Answer 1

Okay here is how Scienists can be sharing their research and findings for some funding purposes. Most federally-funded agencies want the public to know about the work they are supporting. It helps give agencies the political support they need to get additional funding in the future. The National Science Foundation (NSF), for example, uses its Science360 site to share a wide variety of science stories – including stories about research findings that weren’t funded by NSF. They also can create several opportunities for formal collaborations, I can think of several instances where publicizing the findings of one research project has led to an invitation for a researcher to be part of a new or emerging research project. Very often, these take the form of interinstitutional and or interdisciplinary grant proposals. Point is Scientists sharing their collective information, test results, experiments, and study's, etc; can really bring new questions and answers to further scientific questions and scientific anomalies we still don't understand out there or haven't discovered yet, and to improve our understanding of the things we may see daily and can't explain what they are or things we may find in our backyard that we can't comprehend will definitely need some sort of studying to be done in order to understand our un ordinary world we live in and improve our knowledge on things we may encounter that we just don't understand.
