Like engineers, their knowledge is highly prized by manufacturers, because they work in research and development departments, creating new compounds, products, or processes to make them. They might test the safety of a given product—like scientists who work for auto manufacturers. They could be finding new ways to clean up chemical spills, or finding more efficient energy sources. They can help create new medical devices, or discover new plant hybrids. In fact, the branches of each field of study are so vast and complex, scientists tend to specialize. For example, a microbiologist might study new types of bacteria, while atmospheric scientists could research the wind patterns. ![Woman\_into\_a\_lab](https://careersofthefuture.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Woman_into_a_lab.webp?width=1480&height=990&name=Woman_into_a_lab.webp) Did you know? # Jobs & Roles Check out the most popular and common roles in this area of study below: ##### Medical Scientist ##### Biochemist ##### Climatologist ##### Chemist ##### Physicist Computer Scientist ##### Environmental Scientist ##### Neuroscientist ##### Materials Scientist ##### Epidemiologist ## Thinking about studying for a role in this field?
