you cannot be a scientist, at best you are a researcher. And you need a decent knowledge of at least those 3 subjects simultaneously if you want to become a true scientist this day, this is the essential, the minimum.

And this is needed even if you're from another area, so if you're a Biologist you need to know Biology and those 3, otherwise you won't be able to create anything new, just reproduce what people teach to you.
