Scientist

A scientist is a scholar who systematically gathers and uses research evidence, makes a hypothesis, and tests it to gain and share knowledge and understanding. You can define a scientist by how they go about research, what they seek to understand and where they apply their science. EX: Eira studies cryogenics, Somena is an anthropologist and Malum is a chemist

History

The roles of "scientists", and their predecessors before the emergence of modern scientific disciplines, have evolved considerably over time. Scientists of different eras have had widely different places in society, and the social norms, ethical values, and epistemic virtues associated with scientists—and expected of them—have changed over time as well. Accordingly, many different historical figures can be identified as early scientists, depending on which characteristics of modern science are taken to be essential. Some historians point to the Scientific Revolution that began in the 16th century as the period when the science in a recognizably modern form developed. It wasn't until the 19th century that sufficient socio-economic changes had occurred for scientists to emerge as a major profession
