Research institutions including NIH (National Institutes of Health), NSF (National Science Foundation), and NASA provide essential funding supporting researchers, graduate students, and doctoral programs across scientific disciplines.

Scientific research operates as international collaboration with researchers from multiple countries working together, sharing findings, and attending conferences regardless of national borders.

Carl Sagan articulated science as fundamentally a way of thinking requiring skepticism, interrogation of authority, and educated practice rather than merely accumulated knowledge.
