A biologist is a scientist who studies living organisms. Biologists involved in basic research attempt to discover underlying mechanisms that govern how organisms function. Biologists involved in applied research attempt to develop or improve medical, industrial or agricultural processes. Some biologists work in management positions coordinating or supervising research.
