... research. In fact, many scientists are involved with research directly; running experiments and making observations. Although individually these scientists are engaged in many separate fields of science (e.g., Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics), collectively they're doing just two types or broad categories of research - basic and applied. Basic research expands the knowledge base in a field of science. It may become the basis ... ...
