What are the common myths about Biologists and their work?

Dear Aspirant, you have not mentioned your academic background. Let me tell about the real job of a biologist. The biologist means any one who has studied botany, zoology, microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, genetics, forensic science, biomedical science, agriculture, ennvironmental science.

The common myth about biology are, that their life is routine, no excitement, less money compared to other lucartive jobs and as usual teahing job.

But this not so, let me tell you about myself, I am a microbiologist (so may call me a biologist), I have dome MSc and PhD in Microbiology. Presently working as Senior Assistant Professor in a reputed university. My nature of job is, four classes per week (Teaching MSc students), research part of my job is, I am guiding two PhD students, one is working on environmental aspects and another one on biofertilizer development. Besides these some meetings with colleagues and supiriors (off course with a cup of tea). There is some official related work also, such as related to exams, and quality control. I really enjoy my work. The time I get apart from above mentioned work, I use to write research papers, book chapters, and chit chat with colleagues and research scholars. What I enjoy most is that when something new findings we report in our research papers. The research aspect of my job profile is really very exciting. Moreover, I keep myself update with latest in my subjects, whenever I tell my students some thing new, their gesture gives me highest level of satisfaction.

A biologist in agriculture discipline looks after the agricultural aspects, about crop production, crop management, disease management. A biomedical technologist looks after the biomedical as well as instruments aspects. Person working in pharmacology, enjoys working on novel drugs and their effect on human beings. A zoologist, when find some new species of animal, a botanist find some beneficail properties of a plant, gives them academic recognition.

Some biologist who are solely working on research and development aspects in multinational companies or universities or reserach institutions have generated very good results, developed some new varieties of crops and vegetables. When people consume their products, what level of happiness they get, you can understand.
Finally, I want to say that the life of a biologiat is very exciting, challenging and enjoyable and is very rewarding also.
