      What do you guys think is so special about a scientist.

      They measure things and record data really well. They apply scientific principles and such.

      They use lab equipment and usually have a very narrow scope on the things they are working on.

      Do you think every scientist gets a nobel or something?

        Scientist isn’t a thing. It’s like artist, a self-designation.

                Researchers, professors, testers, archeologists, chemists, physicists, biologists.

                Show me someone walking around with “scientist” on their lapel. It’s like a cartoon joke.

          What kinda essentialism is this? Artist is also absolutely a job title. Sure, you can self-describe as well, but there are people that get paid to be an artist.

              No one. Like I said, you can self-identify but it is also a title you can have from a job or similar.

          Bachelors of Science? I know you could argue that is applied to a lot of degrees, However one of my kids is a Materials Scientist. It is the Diploma and Job. https://americanprofessionguide.com/materials-scientist-career/

            I’ll bet the bachelor of science degree is in something. BS in psychology. BS in materials (new to me). So you’re going to be a counselor, or a psychologist, or whatever a materialist is called other than materialist which doesn’t make sense.

              I’m not sure what you are saying. Its not Materialist its Material Scientist, they study the science of materials and get a diploma in Materials Science, and the job is called Materials Scientist. Its basically Math, chemistry and metalurgial sciences rolled I into one discipline. Thus the link I posted, here’s another https://materials.princeton.edu/education/undergraduate/what-materials-science
