In a laboratory setting, Radical Scientists tend to look indistinguishable from their mundane or technocratic counterparts. They employ fringe science and radical science to explore the boundaries of Science. These are the men and women in the world's labs that can steer an average mundane experiment into the realm of Etheric Science. Typically, they specialize in some field like physics or chemistry, and work to further the goals of the SoE by proposing radical or fringe theories to do so. These guys are the opposite of technocratic scientists that sabotage SoE theories in the labs.
Computer is another typical aptitude in todays laboratory environment.
Radical Scientists tend to have one highly developed sphere or two, and very little in anything else. These spheres are related to th area of specialization, of course. Lots of high-tech equipment to test theories with. The theory itself may serve as a focus in most cases. Usually these scientists are purely theoretical, prefering to concentrate on ideas rather than testing or application.
