Think of biologists as the people who were handed an absolutely massive book collection that was previously owned by a person who hated any kind of organization in the slightest. The biologists are going through the collection and identifying books, organizing them, and figuring out what's written inside. Then medical researchers, material scientists, biomolecular engineers, and other people show up at the library and say "I'm looking for something that might be useful in my area of research" and the biology librarians say "we've found a few books over in this area that might be of interest, see what you can do with those and let us know if you think we should keep looking in that area."
