'''''Note:''' In Starfleet, the Sciences Division is not limited merely to the so-called hard sciences. Social sciences are also considered important by Starfleet to achieve its mission of exploration. Good examples of this kind of science officer in action are in the TOS episode "Who Mourns For Adonis," where we saw Carolyn Palamas acting as the "Archaeology & Anthropology" officer in the landing party. Another example was Hoshi Sato, who had a background in linguistics and thus wore the uniform of the Sciences Division even while serving as ship's communications officer.'' | |||
