Castiel should publish his data in a scientific journal to allow other researchers to replicate his experiment and build upon his findings. It is important for scientific research to be peer-reviewed and to be available for others to read and reference in their own research. Presenting his data at a conference may be useful for networking and gaining feedback from colleagues, but publishing in a scientific journal is the best way to disseminate his findings to a wider audience. Obtaining ethics approval and publishing in a textbook are also important steps, but they do not address the immediate next step after analyzing the data.
