Always with other people. It is impossible to know absolutely everything you need to know yourself. The best way is to have a team with multiple different skills so you can share work.
Science has a perception of being a lonely occupation. The individual alone in their laboratory working long hours in isolation is a fictional trope. This is far from the truth; in reality science is a collaborative effort where the sharing of information and working together is the best way to progress.
In every science based job I have had there has been a strong need to share your time/expertise/reasoning. Teamwork is essential.
