Question -   What is a material scientist and what do they do?
---------------------------------------
Nina,

Materials Science covers a very wide range of study. In general, 
what is of interest to the materials scientist is any substance that 
can be used to make things. These includes, plastics, ceramics, 
metals, asphalt, sand, plant matter, etc. Your clothes, shoes, 
house, car, the roads, computer - practically everything you use are 
all made of materials, and it is the materials scientist's job to 
prepare, study, manufacture, and make better such things.
