JOB DESCRIPTION: Entomologists are biologists who study insects, such as ants, bees, butterflies and beetles. They are interested in their life cycles and behaviour and may observe them in their natural habitats. At other times entomologists collect insects and observe them in laboratories.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Doctors examine, diagnose and treat disease, illness and injury in human patients. Some doctors work as general practitioners in a local surgery while others work in hospitals, which contain beds and more advanced equipment. Hospital is where people who need longer or more complex care go. Doctors often specialise in a particular area of medicine such as cardiology (the study of the heart) or neurology (the study of the brain and nervous system).
JOB DESCRIPTION: Chemistry is the area of science concerned with how different sorts of atoms join together to form molecules, which are found in living systems (organic chemistry) or non-living systems (inorganic chemistry). Chemists use their knowledge of molecules and the properties of the substances they form to create and improve things like medical treatments and fuels. They often work in laboratories.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Botany is the area of biology that studies plants. As well as identifying plants, botanists also help to conserve and protect them from pests, disease and climate change. Some botanists focus on studying plants that are used for food or medicine.
JOB DESCRIPTION Biologists study living things like animals and plants, which they call organisms. They consider how different organisms have adapted to their environment so that they can survive and successfully reproduce. Biologists specialise in different areas including zoology (the study of animals), botany (the study of plants), human biology and marine biology.
