Yes; I think philosophy is essential to science—inseparable really. Most of my favorite papers were written by scientists that were in some way students of philosophers.

It might be that psychology has a closer relationship to philosophy than other branches, but I even have a few books from the philosophy of biology, and the philosophy of science more broadly, and they're great at highlighting problems you didn't even realize existed.
