Kaitlin Wade answered on 24 Jun 2019:
That’s a good question but difficult to answer… In terms of general science, probably a 1! I know a bit but there is so much more that I don’t know, especially given that science evolves practically every day. In terms of my specific field, I’d say probably a 7 – I’m quite knowledgeable but there is always room for improvement.

Definitely a 1/10. Science is such a hugehugehugehuge subject and I only study a tiny portion of it! And as Kaitlin said there’s new research being published every single day. But I’m happy being a 1/10. 🙂 It keeps you striving to learn more.

Big fat zero – do we really know anything with 100% certainty? 🙂

Wow – that’s hard – science is so huge! I think in terms of medicine, I’d be ok, but science as a whole – I still have loads to learn – so a 3!

Wow, what a great question.
Science generally, maybe 0.05
Vitamin D – 1.3
Vitamin D and childhood bone health 4.2
Maternal vitamin D in pregnancy and childhood bone health 8.9
Most scientists are very niche, they know a lot about a very very very very small topic.

Here’s a nice analogy about how knowledge kind of works, i like it.

Matthew Bareford answered on 26 Jun 2019:
as has been alluded to by much of the others, because of the vast amount of sciences and ever changing and development of science and ways to prove/disprove and inform further ideas, I would say that my knowledge of science as a whole definitely lower than 5… probably around a 3 – some good general knowledge, some further knowledge of some topics and my specific specialist knowledge!

Oh very little – and I love that! There is so much to discover and learn about and it’s nice to be part of a big community trying to push things forward.
