A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a more restricted sense, a scientist is an individual who uses the scientific method. The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.
Philosophy can be seen as a distinct activity, which is aimed towards a more comprehensive understanding of intangible aspects of reality and experience that cannot be physically measured.
Scientists are also distinct from engineers, those who develop devices that serve practical purposes. When science is done with a goal toward practical utility, it is called applied science (short of the creation of new devices that fall into the realm of engineering). When science is done with an inclusion of intangible aspects of reality it is called natural philosophy.
Social roles that partly correspond with the modern scientist can be identified going back at least until 17th century natural philosophy, but the term scientist is much more recent. Until the late 19th or early 20th century, those who pursued science were called "natural philosophers" or "men of science".

But amid the chaos, one man who strives to live amid infection and death does not know that he is simply part of an extraordinary experiment.

Plot: Jennings is the best reverse-engineer in the business. He is hired by clients to take apart other companies technologies and find out how they work. He is hired to do a special job, against the advice of some of his associates. When the job is completed, all memory of what he has been working on is erased from his mind. That's when his problem really start to begin. He is hunted for something he has no recollection of doing and has only a little time to work it out. He has sent himself 19 seemingly unconnected objects, before his memory was wiped, to allow him to put the puzzle together and discover just what has gone on and what he has done. But the authorities are after him and time is very quickly running out.

Plot: A residence on Balboa holiday island gets rented to two families, who meet while fighting for first spot on the ferry. Restaurant chef Matthew 'Matt' Farragher work long hours, but is such fun when at home that cheerful son Lewis and nagging daughter Daphne still love him to death. German genetics researcher Dr. Julia Weiland raised her sons from an American father, adolescent Thomas and preteen Max, well-behaved but boring. Her lab partner and fiancée Russel's true passion is GM vegetables. All the boys bond naturally, despite Julia's over-protective objections. Matt coaches Thomas on his love-life and Lewis teaches Max sailing. Bridging the gorge between the parents will take much more - what will some drama do for them all?

I am dominating, biochemical source
To effect scientific, beats and attitudes
Through my hemispheres, packs and galaxies
Beyond and out of range, far is sent to me
Cause to the left I am blinkin, mega and hype
While absorbing predators, as a scientist
Skilled with medical degrees I combinate
Years on Ampex, experience Ced
Indeed, bioforce parallel MPC
was in-gen-ulity, and ability
I'm the wizard Ced Gee, I'm a scientist!
[Ced Gee]
To DELIVER, such a powerful mic
I'll excite, and I'll also ignite
the crowd to respond to my total formulation
Particular words, designated for a path
that you can sell, a new format combined
And I won't rhyme, but instead I'll refine
the proper use of speech, as I teach
Things physical, change must be rearranged
Passing data of a mode, choosing a code
Kick back the time, then I'll explode
into ATOMS, and the mixture I'll build
Just hammering a mouse, a third, would be evil
to the science, formed expressed by Ced Gee
I'm a scientist!
[Ced Gee]
NOW I'm pickin up speed at a maximum pace
And all nucleus attached, must metriculate
With me the scientist, the man to compel
Against competitors, equal to excel
To a nuclear wave, events and above
all meters, contain precise, the same extended
Opposite to illusion is BASS
There be no confusion
To set my megameters, laboratory stories
I'm gain more glories in all, sorts of categories
To be raised up, a bit
Ced Gee, as an Ultramagnetic, SCIENTIST!
