Yeah, humans are social animals which create social systems everywhere they go. This shouldn’t shock anyone.

I'm genuinely confused how everyone is reacting to this. What good is research that no one cares to hear?

The research should speak for itself. Assuming the person judging it is competent, it shouldn't need to be "sold".

The thing is, “research” doesn’t speak, humans do. If a tree falls in the woods… and so on. Part of being a scientist is communicating what you’ve done, otherwise no one else will know. It’s a skill that has to be developed in some more than others, and it was a key part of my training as a scientist. I don’t really like that part as much, but I do it because it’s what makes my work have any impact.
