Noun
biologists- Plural of biologist
Extensive Definition
A biologist is a scientist devoted to and
producing results in biology through the study of
organisms. Typically
biologists study organisms and their relationship to their
environment. Biologists involved in basic research attempt to
discover underlying mechanisms that govern how organisms work.
Biologists involved in applied research attempt to develop or
improve medical, industrial or agricultural processes.
Training
There are many types of biologists. Some deal with the macroscopic world, and others with the microscopic. There is much overlap between different fields, and it is often hard to classify a biologist as only one of them. Many jobs in biology as a field require an academic degree. A PhD (or equivalent) is generally required to direct independent research, and involves a specialization in a specific area of biology. (U.S. Department of Labor)Subfields
