Scientists have a great deal of responsibility. Why is it important for scientists to communicate their results accurately to people?

A scientist has a lot of responsibility with how serious one takes their job. If he or she doesn’t follow a specific medicine dose when testing out a new medicine on people, for example, he or she could potentially damage a person’s body. Having such an important and sometimes precise job comes with a lot of responsibility due to the amount of room for error, which could have serious consequences.

Because everything scientists do or see is put out where the whole world can see. But if they don’t do it accurately then they get proved wrong or even lose their job. And the more accurate an answer is the more opportunity they have to venture and see more Han what they already know.
