Question

after conducting a research study, a scientist typically tells the scientific world about it by publishing the results in a scientific journal and/or by ______. calling a meeting of their departmental colleagues releasing the results to the mainstream media incorporating the results into their lectures to undergraduates presenting the results at a scientific conference and/or publishing the results in a journal

Explanation:

Scientists share research with the broader scientific community through formal, peer-recognized channels. Presenting at scientific conferences and publishing in journals are standard, widely accepted methods to reach the scientific world, unlike limited internal meetings, mainstream media (not targeted to scientific peers), or undergraduate lectures (educational, not formal scientific dissemination).

Answer:

D. presenting the results at a scientific conference and/or publishing the results in a journal
