Biologists

Biology is the  science focused on the investigation of the phenomenon of life—and of living organisms (and of such living systems as ecological systems).  The term derives from the Greek:  bios (meaning "life") and logia (meaning "study of").

Biologists study and communicate science-based information on the structure, functioning, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and classification of these living organisms and systems..  Biology is composed of a wide spectrum of sub-disciplibes.
