During a conference presentation, a scientist described the materials that she used and how she performed her experiments. Which best explains why a scientist would share these details in a conference?

Describing the materials and experimental procedure lets the audience understand how the experiment was conducted, including whether it used controlled tests. This is important for evaluating the methods and potentially repeating the study. The details do not, by themselves, show whether the results support the hypothesis or are supported by other scientists.
