What are the qualifications of a scientist?

A Ph.D. degree usually is necessary for independent research, industrial research, and college teaching, as well as for advancement to administrative positions. A master's degree is sufficient for some jobs in basic research, applied research or product development, management, or inspection; it also may qualify one to work as a research technician or as a teacher in an aquarium. The bachelor's degree is adequate for some nonresearch jobs. For example, some graduates with a bachelor's degree start as biological scientists in testing and inspection or get jobs related to biological science, such as technical sales or service representatives. In some cases, graduates with a bachelor's degree are able to work in a laboratory environment on their own projects, but this is unusual. Some may work as research assistants, whereas others become biological laboratory technicians or, with courses in education, high school biology teachers. (See the statements on clinical laboratory technologists and technicians; science technicians; and teachers-preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary). Many with a bachelor's degree in biology enter medical, dental, veterinary, or other health profession schools.

In addition to required courses in chemistry and biology, undergraduate biological science majors usually study allied disciplines such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. Computer courses are essential because employers prefer job applicants who are able to apply computer skills to modeling and simulation tasks and to operate computerized laboratory equipment, particularly in emerging fields such as bioinformatics. Those interested in studying the environment also should take courses in environmental studies and become familiar with current legislation and regulations. Prospective biological scientists who hope to work as marine biologists should have at least a bachelor's degree in a biological or marine science. However, students should not overspecialize in undergraduate study, as knowledge of marine biology often is acquired in graduate study. Most colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees in biological science, and many offer advanced degrees. Curriculums for advanced degrees often emphasize a subfield such as microbiology or botany, but not all universities offer all curriculums. Larger universities frequently have separate departments specializing in different areas of biological science. For example, a program in botany might cover agronomy, horticulture, or plant pathology. Advanced degree programs include classroom and fieldwork, laboratory research, and a thesis or dissertation.

Biological scientists with a Ph.D. often take temporary postdoctoral research positions that provide specialized research experience. Postdoctoral positions may offer the opportunity to publish research findings. A solid record of published research is essential in obtaining a permanent position involving basic research, especially for those seeking a permanent college or university faculty position. In private industry, some may become managers or administrators within the field of biology; others leave biology for nontechnical managerial, administrative, or sales jobs.

Biological scientists should be able to work independently or as part of a team and be able to communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing. Those in private industry, especially those who aspire to management or administrative positions, should possess strong business and communication skills and be familiar with regulatory issues and marketing and management techniques. Those doing field research in remote areas must have physical stamina. Biological scientists also must have patience and self-discipline to conduct long and detailed research projects.

Why do scientists not believe in extrasensory perception?

Extrasensory perception is not believed by scientist, because they do not

understand how it works. And, people with this gift are frowned on for us not

to believe in them. They should be scientifically studied. They say the air force

is trying to get fighter pilots to talk to each other, by using esp while in flight and in battle. Love, Carmino Seranni

Early childhood experiences of Alexander Fleming?

That was a very rude answer so I deleted it....=) anyways I don't think that you are stupid for asking that question as a matter of fact I had that same question until a few minutes ago and decided to share what I found. lAlexander Fleming lived a normal Scottish childhood. He had a country house with a large farm. When they were not at school Fleming and his brothers would enjoy the outdoor activites. They played shooting games without guns and hunted without them too, but they were accompanied by an old dog. There was a pact between them that whoever put his hands on the hind legs of the animal first was the rightful master. And they invented their own indigenous methods for hunting. They also made a little money by selling peewit's eggs to traveling salesmen. Fleming loved every aspect of the farm life, including sheep-shearing. And when he got older he took part in sheep-shearing competitions. In a childhood accident in a school playground left him with a broken nose. For the rest of his life, he looked more like a battered prizefighter than a medical man. Of course this is all from the internet not my words. I hope this is what you were looking for.

Why do some scientist believe aliens are real and do they have evidence?

Yes and No. Some scientists think that aliens don't exist, some do. If they do, then they also obviously believe in them on other planets. What do you think? I think that they do exist, why would us humans be the ONLY ones on planet Earth?

Is there anything controversial about adoption?

Yes, many things.

First and foremost as an adopted adult, the number one priority in my adoptee rights activism life right now is to get my records unsealed by the state of California. Sealed records is a very controversial topic, it is a violation of the adoptees civil rights and human rights to be denied access to our original birth certificates. Mothers who surrendered their children to adoption are coming forward and saying they were never promised secrecy and even if someone did give them an unlawful promise, its not the courts obligation to uphold such promises. Access to our original birth certificates doesn't guarantee us a reunion and isn't about a reunion, its about equality for adoptees. Its a civil rights issue. Only 6 states honor adoptee's unconditional access to their records.

Another "hot" topic I've been reading about on various sites and something that has always bothered me personally is the difference in prices of adoption fees according to the race of the child. Apparently white infants are in the greatest demand so they have the highest adoption "fees." I am biracial, so I was cheaper than the white babies, but more expensive than the full blooded other races.

Another controversial adoption topic is informed consents to adoption by the mothers and fathers who are surrendering their children. The baby scoop era was full of forced surrenders and horrifying accounts of women being drugged, babies being drugged and never given the opportunity to stay together as a family on the pretense of protecting us from the social stigma of children born out of wedlock. The present industry has developed a different type of coercion of pregnant girls and women. (Books: "The Girls Who Went Away" by Ann Fessler and "The Baby Thief" by Barbara Raymond).

Women aren't being given informed consents to adoption. They are being told that two parents are better than one mother. They're not being told of infant trauma caused from loss of mother. They're not being told about sealed records for the adoptee decreasing chances of reunion, nor are they being told that open adoptions aren't even enforceable by law. They're being told how wonderful, heroic, and beautiful they are for considering adoption at one of the lowest points of their lives. The only support these women are getting is support to see that the pregnancy continues to delivery and then placing the child with the adoptive parents. There is really no actual emotional support for the mother. It is deception and unfortunately by the time our mothers realize this, it's too late because revocation periods are usually less than 30 days.

Many unnecessary separations are taking place to fulfill the demand of newborn white infants. Not only is this terrible, but it's taking the focus off of the children who REALLY need loving homes. There are over 100,000 children in foster care today who desperately need and want a home. They need stability, security, love, food, clothing and support so that one day they can go on and take care of themselves in the world. Foster care adoptions cost next to nothing in most states. But there aren't waiting lists for foster kids or children of any color except white.

A lot needs to be changed in adoption. The industry in America is in dire need of bulldozing and complete reconstruction. While Australia's system of adoption isn't' perfect, we could definitely learn a lot from them. No matter where you stand on adoption and adoption issues, the first five years of a child's life are critical to their learning abilities, emotional development, and personality. The optimal circumstances for the child must be addressed as soon after birth as possible. A child can't wait for society to get it right.
