life scientist
Studies living things
A life scientist studies living organisms and life processes—biology in its many branches.
The term encompasses biologists, biochemists, geneticists, ecologists, and researchers in related fields: Life scientists are working to understand how the virus mutates.
The phrase distinguishes these researchers from physical scientists, who study nonliving matter and energy.
