Physiologist vs. Life science taxonomist
A life science taxonomist specializes in studying and classifying living organisms. They study both existing and newly discovered organisms by gathering and analyzing samples, conducting various laboratory experiments, observing habitats, and utilizing special software to examine DNA and external structures. Through their research findings, they come up with conclusions and recommendations vital in developing programs and new discoveries. When it comes to employment, a life science taxonomist may work for laboratories, government agencies, private companies, and even teach at universities.
There are some key differences in the responsibilities of each position. For example, physiologist responsibilities require skills like "health system," "ekg," "rehabilitation," and "data collection." Meanwhile a typical life science taxonomist has skills in areas such as "dna," "freshmen," "sharepoint," and "data management." This difference in skills reveals the differences in what each career does.
On average, life science taxonomists reach lower levels of education than physiologists. Life science taxonomists are 6.7% less likely to earn a Master's Degree and 8.6% less likely to graduate with a Doctoral Degree.Types of physiologist
