Biology is the science branch specializing in the study of life forms, the way they interact among themselves, and the ecosystem where they coexist. "Biologist" is an umbrella term used to globalize Scientists working in the different branches of Biology. These professionals specialize primarily in three areas:  

• Botany, the study of plants  
• Zoology, the study of the animal kingdom  
• Microbiology, the study of microbes and unicellular organisms  

Other subcategories of Biology can be classified by the scale at which organisms are studied, the type of organisms, and the methods used to analyze them. Their work can also be closely related to the fields of Medicine, Agriculture, and environmental studies.  
      
Biologists study various aspects of the organisms that inhabit this world. Their research focuses primarily on exploring and explaining how organisms live, thrive, and interact with each other, classifying living beings and subcategories for further study. They may also conduct research targeted towards understanding the internal functioning of living organisms.  
    
Biology practices are conducted in two different environments: in laboratories and outdoors while doing field studies. Depending on their specialization, some Biologists might spend more time at one location or the other. Microbiologists, for example, spend most of their working time in a laboratory, whereas Marine Biologists may spend a sizable portion of their time working out in the field. Biologists' most common employment source is government offices and agencies, environmental consulting companies, chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnical companies, and universities.

Personality of a Biologist

• They are analytical   

Biology requires an analytic approach when conducting research trials and other experiments. Analyses are detailed examinations of a particular subject matter. Professional Biologists with sharpened analytical skills will find that their research efforts are supported with this skillset.  
   

• They are hyper-focused   

This trait is advantageous in the field of Biology, especially when a research trial involves detailed analyses of samples and other biological data. Biologists may need to handle some sample material with the utmost care and extreme caution in some cases, making hyper-focus a valuable skill when relying on staying focused while on the job.  
 

• They are critical thinkers  

Excelling in Biology demands unmatched critical thinking skills, no different from other science professions. Data research and reporting requires a sharpened ability to extract meaningful conclusions – the kind that comes naturally to critical thinkers that know precisely how to read between the lines to see the bigger picture.
