What do scientists actually do?

The scientists throughout the world are hard at work. Some are studying atoms and molecules. Others are making discoveries about chemicals, liquids, heat, light, motion, or sound.

Physical scientists learn about how things work in the world and in outer space. They study all matter that is not alive, from tiny atoms to stars and planets.

Scientists work in every field imaginable, and can therefore be found working for an expansive range of employers. Large and small companies will hire scientists to work on products and research projects. Universities will hire scientists to do research work or to teach. Governments and hospitals issue research grants and hire scientists to work on funded projects. Regardless of the path the scientist decides to follow, the ultimate goal is to always add knowledge and insight to the larger scientific community, as well as to help ignite new discoveries for the future.
