Biologists

=Biologists= =Eric Miller= Biologists study the basic processes life in plants and animals, including anatomy, origins and relationships. Biology is an investigative career. Investigative careers require a lot of thinking, work with ideas and involve a lot of mental problem solving.

Tasks completed by biologists include working with and cooperating with other agencies, groups and the public in order to complete experiments. They must know how to use a computer to store their information on findings and research. Being able to make connections between organisms through data and finding out how the environment effects these organisms is important in biology. Biologists have to be able to identify and classify organisms and be able to communicate what they have completed and discovered. They must be able to prepare reports for meetings and conferences with employers. They must be able to predict future events based on past events, such as the amount of a natural resource in so many years.

Biologists need to be well educated in science, know how to manage their time, have good judgement and decision making skills, be an active listener and a critical thinker, and know how to write and comprehend reports and papers.

Biologists need a knowledge of basic biology and chemistry. It is important for biologists to be aware of basic government laws so they do not violate them during experimentation or research. Biologist must know how to keep themselves and surrounding people safe during their researching and experiments. They must know how to use computers and other electronics as well for data transmission. They also need basic English grammar skills and spelling of words.

Biology requires a minimum of a four year bachelor's degree. Many biology jobs require graduate school and a Master's degree, or even a Ph.D., M.D., or J.D. As well as having an education, on-the-job training is sometimes required, but most already have the experience. There are no school programs related. There is no wage data currently with this job and there is no outlook data. Some related jobs include biochemists and biophysicists, soil and plant scientists, microbiologists, zoologists and wildlife biologists, and environmental scientists and specialists.
