They are required to assemble, operate, and maintain the technical equipment used to record, amplify, enhance, mix, and reproduce sound. They identify the sound requirements for a given situation and use their specialized knowledge to produce this sound.
  4. 10. utilize satellite images, aerial photographs, and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology to craft models of the Earth’s features and surface to create topographic maps.
  5. 11. design, implement, and analyze algorithms for solving problems. This career requires a high level of expertise in mathematics because the codes used are based on numerical theories and cutting-edge mathematical algorithms; decipher secret coding systems and decode messages for military, political, or law enforcement agencies or organizations, helping to provide privacy for people and corporations and keep hackers out of important data systems.
  6. 13. The study of relationships between animals, plants, and the environment. They investigate urban, suburban, rural, forest, freshwater, estuarine, and marine environments, helping us understand the connections between organisms and their environment.
  7. 15. the people who make sure that the products we use not only smell and feel good, but are also safe for us to use. Some might work on the formulation of new cosmetics, while others might focus on improving the performance of the current product.
  8. 16. they make fireworks fly, designing displays for use in sports arenas and concert venues, and for special effects in movies and television.
  9. 17. While it’s not necessary to have a qualification in ecological studies, biology or botany is essential to have a working knowledge of both. Planning and maintaining a rooftop garden needs a good understanding of gardening, conservation methods and ecology.
  10. 18. information security professionals who are in charge of monitoring and safeguarding computer networks, sensitive information and proprietary data from hackers and malware.

  1. 1. design, operate and maintain nuclear reactors and plants. They also implement procedures that allow the safe disposal of nuclear waste and ensure that every nuclear plant has safety measures in place in case of a leak.
  2. 3. A type of herpetologist which in turn is a type of zoologist. People who work in this highly specialized area extract venom from snakes and other reptiles which produce venom that could cause illness and death
  3. 4. an experimental technique in which a defective mutant allele is replaced with a functional one.
  4. 5. professionals who care and maintain marine life in aquariums and marine conservation centers. They can specialize in a number of different areas, including safely breeding creatures in captivity, creating and maintaining aquatic exhibits and shows, training sea life, and educating the public about sea life.
  5. 7. study to try to detect the presence of cryptids – animals that are considered to be long extinct or maybe even mythical. This career contributed to discovering animals such as giant squids, Komodo dragons and okapi were all once considered creatures of legend but have since been proven to exist.
  6. 9. experiment with the chemical makeup of foods to make them safer, tastier, longer-lasting, or easier to ship.
  7. 12. Specialized geologists who study the patterns of volcanoes. by studying a variety of ash and rock samples, simulate controlled explosions that mimic volcanic activity, and even listen to the gurgles of a volcano.
  8. 14. Use of both science and art to produce photographs, videos, and graphical images for use in health care, helping to promote scientific knowledge to patients and the greater public.
