Social or Solitary Science?

Science should be considered a social endeavor because in most cases scientists discover new things by studying the work of and speaking to other scientists. Science is a field that is always continuing to branch out but it doesn't do it by itself it branches off its previous works by combining ideas. It is the combining of these ideas that were created through a social effort though it may not always be a direct conversation, and yes there have been many cases when scientists made discoveries on their own but it is when the scientists come together that keeps science from ever being completely solitary.

In the future i have considered taking up a chemistry/medical field job. This type of science always needs to be in contact with its other partners because it is under constant development making it a social endeavor but work can be done on ones own. I want to be in the medicinal field because I want to be able to help others discover new and better ways to make other peoples lives easier so i am looking forward to the social part of the job.
