| | Biologist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Typically biologists study organisms and their relationship to their environment. | | | Biologists involved in basic research attempt to discover underlying mechanisms that govern how organisms work. | | | Some biologists work in management positions coordinating or supervising research. |

| | Career: Biologists |
| | Biologists study the life processes, behaviors, diseases, and structure of life forms. | | | Once an experiment is complete, biologists analyze the data. | | | Depending on the type of organism they study, biologists conduct experiments in a lab, forest, or other site. |

| | Biological scientists |
| | Almost all marine biologists who do basic research have a Ph.D. Biological scientists are less likely to lose their jobs during recessions than are those in many other occupations because many are employed on long-term research projects. | | | Zoologists and wildlife biologists study animals and wildlife—their origin, behavior, diseases, and life processes. | | | Marine biologists encounter a variety of working conditions. |

| | Perl.com: Data Munging for Non-Programming Biologists |
| | Biologists who can't write Perl (most of them) often end up editing large files by hand. | | | One of my greatest concerns in talking to people about biologists' data munging is that people don't even realize that there's a problem, or they think it's already been solved. | | | Although you may not think about it anymore, some of the fundamental concepts of programming are new and difficult. |

| | Gene Expression: Physicists vs. biologists - cognitive smackdown |
| | It's rather easy to list a dozen physicists who simply seem to have been smarter than any biologist, and the best biologists are shockingly frequently from physics. | | | Then again, that might just tell you that the people most inclined towards mathematics tend to take a more theoretical approach to their subjects, biological sciences included. | | | As you see, the distribution is what you'd expect, a far higher % of physics people lay above the 700 threshold than biology people (actually, the overall verbal mean is rather low, so I should rescale it, but it doesn't really add much to my point so I won't bother). |

| | Evolution is a Fact and a Theory |
| | The term theory is no longer appropriate except when referring to the various models that attempt to explain how life evolves... | | | On the other hand there are questions about the mechanism of the observed changes... | | | However, biologists readily admit that they are less certain of the exact mechanism of evolution; there are several theories of the mechanism of evolution. |

| | Review of Biologists Under Hitler |
| | A most glaring case is that of 1973 Nobel Prize-winner Konrad Lorenz, whose ethological research on animal behavior interested the Nazis for its potential application to humans. | | | In her systematic investigation, Deichmann makes extensive use of quantitative methodology, focusing on some 445 biologists -- a small number nonetheless justified by the fact that these particular scientists could have made substantial contributions to their field. | | | Obviously, the issue of working environments are important here, and although Deichmann handles it in the case of two embryologists who came to the United States (30-38), there is no conclusive evidence that would point one way or another to this issue's role in successful research. |

| | Homeostasis is the ability of an open system to regulate its internal environment to maintain a stable condition by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms. | | | While botany encompasses the study of plants, zoology is the branch of science that is concerned about the study of animals and anthropology is the branch of biology to study human beings. | | | Biologists organize and analyze evolutionary relationships through various methods, including phylogenetics, phenetics, and cladistics (The major events in the evolution of life, as biologists currently understand them, are summarized on this evolutionary timeline). |

| | The majority of biologists utilize the theory of evolution in their work on a daily basis. | | | Intelligent design presumes complexity whose origins and pathways are not testable and that demand a "designer" to achieve. | | | The scientific method requires generating hypotheses, testing the hypotheses with data, and drawing conclusions based on the data; this is the practice of scientists, including evolutionary biologists. |

It's the kind of report that could easily be ignored by chemists, but that would be a grave mistake. |

| | Researchers creating life from scratch - Science - MSNBC.com |
| | Scientists might add one foreign gene to an organism to produce a drug like insulin. The technique is more art than science given the brute trial-and-error it takes to create cells that make drugs. | | | The idea is to separate cells into their fundamental components and then rebuild new organisms, a much more complex way of genetic engineering. | | | They're mixing, matching and stacking DNA's chemical components like microscopic Lego blocks in an effort to make biologically based computers, medicines and alternative energy sources. The rapidly expanding field is confounding the taxonomists' centuries-old system of classifying species and raising concerns about the new technology's potential for misuse. |
