Scientist is a job for those who work in laboratories and who systematically gather and use research and evidence to make hypotheses. They do experiments to test them and to advance knowledge.
History
Scientist debuted as an acorn creature type in Unstable on Willing Test Subject. It became eternal-legal when it was used in the Universes Beyond set Doctor Who.[2][3]
The type is used in more modern settings. More high fantasy settings will still use types like Wizard.[4] Edge of Eternities became the first in-universe set to feature Scientist creatures and was used as a job for the Evendo-strain Eumidians on Biotech Specialist and Seedship Agrarian, as well as among the Illvoi of the Uthros Combine on Uthros Psionicist.
