But science is a wide-ranging area of study, and many scientists work in the field rather than in a lab. This inspiring series, in collaboration with Scientific American, shifts the spotlight onto impressive science professions such as archaeologist, meteorologist, and paleontologist. Readers will discover how people follow certain career paths to become each kind of scientist, what each kind of scientist does day to day, and exciting breakthroughs that have been made in particular fields of study.
