A biologist is a scientist who studies organisms and the organisms relationship to its environment in order to discover underlying mechanisms that govern how organisms work.
Biologists are often identified by disciplines such as botany and zoology, the scale the organisms are studied (micro, exo), and the study methods such as biochemistry.

Thomas Henry Huxley
b. 5-4-1825; England
d. 6-29-1895
Thomas Henry Huxley was an autodidact, a mostly self-taught person, who was instrumental in developing scientific education in Britain. Huxley was also known as “Darwin's Bulldog” for his defense of Darwin's theory of evolution.
Thomas Henry Huxley was the grandfather of author Aldous Huxley; Sir Julian Huxley, biologist and the first director of UNESCO; and Nobel laureate Sir Andrew Huxley.
Thomas Henry Huxley quotes:
• “Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abysses nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.”
• “Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.”
• “There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures early in life.”
