All work is science.

There is no ""scientific"" community and no "adacemical circle" you need to be a part of to understand or participate in science.

the dishwasher at the restaurant and the person who cleans the toilet at the office are all members of the scientific community because they are using products and techniques perfected and produced by chemical and material science. They are applying the theory to the practical.

There is not a single person on this earth who is "non-technical" or unscientific. The human mind is a scientific one and any work you do, any labor that is unnatural and is man-made and brought into existence by you IS SCIENCE. It is the oxygen you breathe. And there are levels to this game, and there are varying fields of practice but they are all leaves fallen from the same tree.

Practical cases with concrete and specific data is as important as theoretical science with abstract and virtual thought.
