It may seem like these Science and Humanities cannot meet, but they are actually very crucial for them to link together. If you take the subject matter in extremes, science would not be able to write down their data if humanities was not involved! But in the more reasonable aspect, we need humanities to get across to people about the discovery or evidence. Science can only go so far before it is just plain useless if it cannot get into the public. With humanities, the subject matter is introduced into the public for viewers to be aware of their findings. But not only that, but humanities also makes the subject more "Human"-istic, whereas the intense scientific words are droned out with more simpler words (or is at least tempted to). It looks like humanities is dragging the load along pretty well huh?
So if we put this in an analogy; We have our materials full of scientific information that is waiting to be shipped to its customers. But before it can be shipped, the materials have to be tested before shipped (this is editing from humanities). Then we have to make sure the product will look applicable to the customers (what audience this article is trying out for, changing the wording to make it simple for children, or complex for college level reading). Eventually Public Relations takes over right about here and actually does the shipping, but I guess you get the point. Without this process, we might be giving information to customers that they do not understand, or is not how they expected it to be.
