So the number of FTEs underestimates the number of people that actually are NASA employees, though probably not by much. These numbers do not include the many people who work for other companies but who work on NASA projects. Some of those people work at NASA centers doing jobs that are indistinguishable from the jobs of civil servants in the next cubicle. Others work at aerospace companies building hardware on contract to NASA.
Medical scientists research human diseases and conditions with the goal of improving human health. Most medical scientists conduct biomedical research and development to advance knowledge of life processes and of other living organisms that affect human health, including viruses, bacteria, and other infectious agents.
Clinical laboratory science professionals (also called medical laboratory scientists or medical laboratory technicians) are highly skilled scientists who discover the presence or absence of disease and provide data that helps physicians determine the best treatment for the patient.ypically, medical laboratory technicians earn an average salary of $45,000 to $50,000 per year, while the average for medical laboratory scientists is between $55,00 to $60,000 per year.
