Scientist

A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a more restricted sense, a scientist is an individual who uses the scientific method. The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.

One of the great unsung heroes of science is unquestionably, Doctor Rudy Wells. Now while his name may not necessarily roll off the tongue, you are no doubt familiar with his handiwork. Rudy was the one who developed the specially designed nuclear-powered prosthetics that transformed mangled tennis pro Jaime Sommers and mutilated astronaut Steve Austin into the cybernetic super-spy agents known as the Bionic Woman and the Six Million Dollar Man. Dozens of people owe their lives to both Jaime and Steve, due largely to the efforts and genius of Doctor Wells.
