Become a botanist
Although the Botanist we interviewed on “So You Want To Be” works with butterflies, her experience with plants is essential to the Butterfly Museum. Because the field is so broad, there are many kinds of Botanists and many different opportunities available. Botanists interested in ecology study interactions of plants with other organisms and the environment. Other field Botanists search to find new species or do experiments to discover how plants grow under different conditions. Some Botanists study the structure of plants. Others research and study the most detailed fine structure of individual cells. Many Botanists do experiments to determine how plants convert simple chemical compounds into more complex chemicals. They may even study how genetic information in DNA controls plant development. Botanists study processes that occur on a time scale ranging from fractions of a second in individual cells to those that unfold over eons of evolutionary time. To become a botanist you need a college education to receive at least a Bachelor’s Degree. Many research botanists have more advanced degrees.
