A scientist is a person who is an expert in at least one area of science and who uses the scientific method to research that area.
Upon the request of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1833, William Whewell invented the English word "scientist"; before this, the only terms in use were "natural philosopher" and "man of science".
Yet the class of people called "scientists" includes theorists who never do experiments, and even pure experimentalists often employ mathematics and deduction to arrive at their conclusions.
Apparently Scientist would beaver away in the studio at all hours of the night then bring his dubs to the maestro the next day for comment and Tubby would generally reply that the work was weak, that his apprentice still had much to learn.
The proof is in the listening, with Scientist dubbing up a storm on these cuts laid down over 20 years ago by the Soul Syndicate and the Roots Radics on Don Mais' Roots Tradition imprint.
