Work Environment
Biophysicists generally work in clean, well-lighted laboratories. They usually work about 40 hours a week, with extra time required for research, continuing education, and other activities. College professors work in comfortable classrooms, offices, and laboratories. They operate on the academic calendar, which means that they can get summer and winter breaks from teaching classes.
