In the future, the analysis should be extended to the sociobiology of science including the relationship between supervisors and their graduate and postdoctoral students and among peers e.g.
Hull's sophisticated Science as a Process (1988) is at once a treatise on the philosophy of science, the sociology of science, and evolutionary theory (whether instantiated biologically or socioculturally).
Much science involves not so much the kind of intensely competitive race made famous by Watson (1969), as it does precisely avoiding such races: with A studying X, B studying Y, C studying Z etc. However, negative frequency dependence can be added to, rather than simply substituted for, density dependence.

In natural sciences, it is rarely possible to prove that an idea is true--"proof" consists mostly of showing that an idea fits ("is consistent with") all the facts, and that all other ideas don't fit the facts or are too complicated.

 Disarmed HIV Delivers Genes to Rat Neurons, Dateline: NIAID, June 1996
This finding, published Jan. 26, 1996, in Science, is the first direct evidence that disregulation of this natural process may play a critical role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Only last summer, when several papers were published in Science and Nature that linked a subtype of familial Alzheimer's disease to the STM2 gene on chromosome 1, did the NIAID team discover the 98 percent match between a 103-amino-acid fragment of one of the genes they were studying and a portion of STM2.

Control of homogeneous nucleation (previously demonstrated by dilutions of a nucleating sample after various times of incubation) may also be achieved by incubating a sample at 1 temperature, where nucleation can occur, and changing the temperature to conditions where there is growth but no nucleation.
In the structure, 9 beta-strands are paired to form 2 triple-stranded antiparallel sheets and 1 double-stranded antiparallel sheet, with the 2 triple sheets arranged as an orthogonal beta- sandwich (Sonnichsen FD, Sykes BD, Chao H, Davies PL, 1993, Science 259:1154-1157).
Based on its structure and an alignment of Type III AFP isoform sequences, a cluster of conserved, polar, surface-accessible amino acids (N14, T18, Q44, and N46) was noted on and around the triple-stranded sheet near the C-terminus.

The different branches of science deal in the main with the different levels of organisation of physical substance.
So physics deals with matter at its most basic, chemistry with a somewhat higher level of organisation, and biology and ecology with a higher and more complex level again.
There is so much material on different branches of science on the web that it is pointless citing links to individual pages.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Patron Saints
Down to the seventeenth century popular devotion, under the guidance of ecclesiastical authority, chose as the titulars of churches those men or women renowned for their miracles, the saintliness of their lives, or their apostolic ministry in converting a nation to the Gospel.
Urban VIII (23 March, 1638) laid down the rules that should guide the faithful in the future selection of patrons of churches, cities, and countries, without, however, interfering with the traditional patrons then venerated (Acta S. Sedis, XI, 292).
As during the days of persecution the most illustrious among the Christians were those who had sacrificed their lives for the faith, it was to be expected that during the fourth century the selection of the names of martyrs as titulars would everywhere prevail.

But he was not hindered in his work, since he published his greatest work of science in 1638, The Discourse on the Two New Sciences.
Leo in the nineteenth century, Galileo and Bellarmine in the seventeenth, all affirmed the ultimate agreement between truths of faith and truths of science.
But in matters of empirical science or anything that is not what is called de fide, the Church can and has made many reversals.
