Yeah the second phrase is much better. The first makes the scientists feel like pieces of data with a singular output format. The second is generic enough to refer to their behaviour and performance respectfully.

Good question A S My answer might not correspond with someone else's. Or it might not match their response. Correspond just sounds more formal to me. In the sentence you have written, to correspond to this level could also mean that scientists need to send a certain number of letters or emails in a period of time, or in a certain way.
