"A biologist is
a scientist who
conducts research in biology. Biologists
are interested in studying life on
Earth, whether it is an individual cell,
a multicellular
organism,
or a community of interacting populations. They
usually specialize in a particular branch (e.g., molecular
biology, zoology,
and evolutionary
biology)
of biology and
have a specific research focus (e.g.,
studying malaria or cancer).
Biologists who are involved in basic
research have
the aim of advancing knowledge about the
natural world.They conduct their research
using the scientific
method,
which is an empirical method for testing hypotheses. Their
discoveries may have applications for
some specific purpose such as in biotechnology,
which has the goal of developing medically
useful products for humans" Source
