Is there a difference between a biologist and a biological scientist?... A biologist tends to study ecology, zoology and plant sciences such as botany-the "arts" end of science. Biological science will tend to study the less practical and more "hard science" based ends such as microbiology, genetics and biochemistry. 1, record 1, English, - biological%20scientist
