### person | scientist | biologist:

Microbiologist
* Many microbiologists develop a career in research or move into management roles
  - use biotechnology to advance knowledge of cell reproduction and human disease
* Many microbiologists work in laboratories
  - research and development conducting basic research or applied research
* Most microbiologists consider viruses to be alive.
* Most microbiologists work full time and keep regular hours
  - on research teams with other scientists and technicians
* Some Microbiologists train and supervise other personnel, keep records, and prepare reports.
* Some microbiologists discover strange, new life forms that no one even knew existed
  - move into managerial positions, often as natural sciences managers
* Some microbiologists work in pharmaceutical plants in antibiotic development
  - the field collecting samples or running field trials
* also examine samples for organisms called plankton, or algae.
* also work in hospital, clinical, and public health laboratories
  - hospitals, clinics, and public health agencies
* are also in great demand in clinical microbiology
* can specialize in a variety of areas
  - use test tubes, but most prefer culture tubes
* classify dermatophytes into three genera.
* count colonies per liter and bacterial growth rates.
* do it with culture.
* draw conclusions from experimental results through sound reasoning and judgment.
* evaluate the effects of anti-infective drugs on germs.
* investigate the growth and characteristics of microscopic organisms.
* regularly use complex mathematical equations and formulas in their work.
* require small pieces of tissue for culture.
* study all aspects of microorganisms, both at a pure and an applied level
  - critters small and tiny
  - micro-organisms and how they affect human, animal and plant health
  - the growth and characteristics of microscopic organisms such as viruses
* use electron microscopes and other complex laboratory equipment in their work
  - laboratory equipment such as microscopes to study microorganisms
  - the steak plate technique as well as special media to isolate desired organisms
* usually work with pure cultures containing a single strain of the microbe they want.
* work in almost every industry and have many different responsibilities
  - areas related to agriculture, the environment, and medicine

### person | scientist | biologist | microbiologist:

Virologist
* are always on the alert for new types and are interested in how viruses change
  - doctors
* conduct research on the smallest of infectious agents.
* study bacteriophages and viruses.
* use scientific jargon and technical language to justify their beliefs.

Modern biologist
* More modern biologists emphasize that marsupial wonder, the fur-lined abdominal pouch.
* Some modern biologists use natural selections.
* follow rules.

Molecular biologist
* Many molecular biologists deal exclusively with bacteria or protists.
* Most molecular biologists lack physics and math beyond the introductory calculus level.
* Some molecular biologists commit suicide.
* are biologists
  - truly unique people
* do everything with as much precision as possible.
* study the molecules that make up living matter.
* think they are chemists.
* use various molecules such as DNA collected from living animals.

Natural scientist
* Most natural scientists formulate theories.
* Some natural scientists understand nutrition.
* can study how chemicals interact with great confidence.

Neurobiologist
* Some neurobiologists even speak of the eyes as if they are part of the brain.
* are biologists.
* can order devices that can be used directly in their experiments.
* seek the seat of consciousness.
* teach hands-on summer institutes for high school science teachers.
* tend to mean focusing attention, almost as limited as the neurologists.
