The Citizen Scientist (1817 words) |
 | Recently citizen scientist Forrest Mims told me about a speech he heard at the Texas Academy of Science during which the speaker, a world-renowned ecologist, advocated for the extermination of 90 percent of the human species in a most horrible and painful manner. |
| Immediately almost every scientist, professor and college student present stood to their feet and vigorously applauded the man who had enthusiastically endorsed the elimination of 90 percent of the human population. |
| Forrest M. Mims III is Chairman of the Environmental Science Section of the Texas Academy of Science, and the editor of The Citizen Scientist. |

Scientist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (895 words) |
| A scientist is an expert in at least one area of science who uses the scientific method to do research. |
| Scientists are motivated, often from childhood, by a desire to understand why the world is as we see it and how it came to be. |
| Scientists include theoreticians who mainly develop new models to explain existing data, and experimentalists who mainly test models by making measurements — though in practice the division between these activities is not clear-cut, and many scientists perform both. |
