Did Albert Einstein refuse to be Prime Minister of Israel due to the plight of the Palestinians?

No. He refused to be Prime Minister because a). he was a physicist, somewhat

of a loner, and had no interest in holding public office; b). he felt that he wouldn't

be too good at it; c). whether or not he turned out to be good at it, it would certainly

interfere with his day-job as a Nobel-Prize-winning physicist; d). he was smart

enough to know that becoming Prime Minister is not something that someone just

hands you if you want it, like a king's crown; you have to campaign for votes and

be elected to it, and he had no interest in putting himself through that process;

e). the "Palestinians" didn't enter into it at all. For one thing, until only a couple of

years before that time, Israelis themselves had also been referred to as "Palestinians",

and the label hadn't yet been appropriated as a human-rights mantra. Also, those

Arabs who had chosen to stay when the new nation was declared independent

had it as good as anyone else in Israel, and were in no "plight". Finally, those who

had chosen to get out temporarily until the surrounding nations and their armies

could finish destroying the new nation, and were temporarily sitting in "refugee camps"

in Egypt and Jordan, were there temporarily of their own choice, and weren't expected

to be there very long ... it was inconceivable that their "hosts" would leave them there

without assistance for six months, let alone sixty years.

How do scientists match bombs and other explosive devices to suspects?

Explosive experts dismantle the bomb, or what's left of it, and analyze how it was made. They take note of the materials used, how it was wired together, ect. Coupled with other facts such as where the bomb was planted can give hints to who the responsible party was. As with fingerprints, no two bomb makers will make identical explosives.

What is a Distinguished Fellow?

Professional and academic organisations may award Distinguish Fellowships to individuals considered to have made special contributions to the fields of interests to those organisations. For instance, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web, was made a Distinguished Fellow of the The Chartered Institute for IT in 1996. For their description of their criteria please see the link. You can find many more definitions, and incumbents for various organisations, by searching google for 'distinguished fellow'.

When do you start studying for the SAT?

The SAT only tests up to Algebra II. The student has learned all of the content after that class. The time to take your first SAT is the Fall of your junior year. It is the golden rule to take the SAT no more than 3 times and starting in the fall of your junior will allow plenty of time for retakes. You should start preparing for the class by taking a Princeton Review course during the summer between sophmore and junior year. You need about 35 hours of classroom time and plenty of self prep hours. In the beginning of your junior year is when you should start studying if plan to take the exam in March of your junior year.

Did scientist Muller win a noble prize?

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.
