The word stem “Biolog-” connects “Biologin” (female biologist) with the field of “Biologie” (biology). This makes it clear that the word refers to a person who works in this area of science.
Die Biologin erklärt den Schülern die Bedeutung des Regenwaldes für das Klima.
The biologist explains the importance of the rainforest for the climate.
Common phrases include “als Biologin arbeiten” (to work as a biologist), “als Biologin forschen” (to conduct research as a biologist), and “eine Biologin untersucht etwas” (a biologist examines something). These are often followed by topics from nature, such as animals, plants, or ecosystems.
Als Biologin forscht sie an der Kommunikation zwischen Bienen.
As a biologist, she is researching communication between bees.
“Biologin” (female biologist) is used as a job or activity title and therefore often appears after “als” (as) or together with verbs such as “arbeiten” (to work), “forschen” (to conduct research), and “untersuchen” (to examine).
Nach ihrem Studium arbeitet sie als Biologin in einem Naturschutzprojekt.
