Work Environment
The astrobiologist's work environment varies greatly, depending upon the position and type of employer. One astrobiologist may work outdoors or travel much of the time. Another may wear a white smock and spend their entire career working in a laboratory. Some work with toxic substances and disease cultures; strict safety measures must be observed.
