Scientific Department

The SCP Foundation Scientific Department, or the Department of Sciences, often abbreviated to the SciD or SciDep and alternatively known as the Research Department, is one of the main internal departments of the SCP Foundation. The SciD is responsible for researching, interacting, and testing anomalous entities within Foundation perimeters. 
==Organization==
As many of the anomalies they are assigned to are dangerous or unknowingly dangerous, the SciD usually utilizes Class-D personnel to perform designated tasks; commonly for research purposes. Many can result in death or extreme danger, which is typically where the Security Department steps in to eliminate the threat.
Much of the SciD's staff are recruited from various places within the scientific community, particularly those who discover something anomalous in their field of study. The SciD is occasionally stereotyped as having little to no morals, only being kept in check by the Ethics Committee; however, this is far from the truth, as most truly depraved staff are turned into Class-D or simply terminated.
While there are many other departments in the SCP Foundation dedicated to scientific studies regarding the anomalous, the SciD is mainly nondescript scientific research that isn't monitored by any specific department dedicated to a certain study.
== Notable locations==
