A scientist is a person who studies the natural world and uses scientific methods to explain phenomena. They use observation, experimentation, and analysis to develop theories and test hypotheses. They may specialize in a particular field such as biology, chemistry, physics, or engineering. Scientists often work in teams to conduct research and develop new technologies. They also collaborate with other scientists from different disciplines to solve complex problems, and are driven by curiosity and the desire to understand how things work and why they happen the way they do. Their discoveries can lead to new treatments for diseases or improved methods of production for industry.
