    The word is the ordinary, respectful job title — not slang, not a joke. A school biology teacher may or may not call themselves a biologist; the title fits most clearly when the person’s work is the science itself.

    Though actually many biologists are quite specialised, and then a narrower name steps in: a for plants, a for animals. Those people are still biologists. You will see the word on university doors, in nature films, and in news about health or the living world.
