Biochemist

Certain choices must be made regarding divergent research paths - depending on the choice of research equipment, certain areas of technology can be developed at the exclusion of other areas. Building the Bio-Tanks will take research down a biological path, where toxic mutations and various goopy materials are the staple areas of interest.

Biochemists are vital to the success of this research path, as only they, ensconced in their protective hazard suits, can safely mess about with the dangerous chemicals at hand. Biochemists have very high smarts and attention - they have to be alert when handling toxic materials, after all.

Be careful with your biochemists; their presence on your island generates heat.

Biochemists are specific to EG1. In EG2 they are replaced with Biologists.
