'der Wissenschaftler' and 'die Wissenschaftlerin' both mean a person who works professionally in science, for example doing research or teaching. The difference is gender: 'der Wissenschaftler' is used for a man, or sometimes generally for a person when gender is not important. 'die Wissenschaftlerin' is used for a woman. Learners may confuse the words because they look almost the same and only the ending and the article are different. So pay special attention to 'der' and 'die' as well as the ending '-in'.
