Biologist

As a Biologist, you study living things, from tiny cells and molecules up to whole ecosystems, to understand how life works. Depending on your focus, your days might be spent in a lab running experiments, out in the field collecting samples and observing wildlife, or at a computer analyzing data and writing up findings. You might research diseases, study how species interact with their environment, develop new biotech products, or teach. It is work driven by curiosity and careful method, where you form questions, design experiments to test them, and build knowledge piece by piece. The variety within biology means the day-to-day looks very different depending on your specialty.
