Scientist aka Detective

A work of a researcher is finding answers to a question. Basically it’s about finding the truth behind the maze. Job of a scientist is not less than as of a detective finding answers to catch the criminal. A detective tries to solve the puzzle by the given clues left by the criminal. Similarly a researcher/scientist solve the given question asked by the given protocol left by another researcher.

Recently i was asked to solve one case of tea plant.

Tea plant

It was contaminated by our crime suspect “fungus”. So I studied the plant bark where it got contaminated under the microscope. It shows the image of fungus but it was not crystal clear to approve.

I went to the higher authority to help me get a better picture. We found out it was indeed a fungus but an endophyte, which means the fungus we are suspecting was in good terms with the tea plant. Now who to blame for the crime.

My friend examined it and she found out, it’s a Bacteria. So the bacteria was guilty. Case closed.

A scientist/ a researcher have a job just like any detective which is why science is vast and interesting. Science is everywhere.
