as scientists (yes, i identify as a scientist myself, although i can see how this can be debatable,) we are often trained and encouraged to uncover mechanisms behind mysterious phenomena in the universe. depending on what kinds of these mysterious phenomena we consider, we are classified into different buckets; if you are working on biological phenomena, you’re a biologist. if you are working with languages, you’re a linguist (are linguists scientists? a good question, but i will leave this question for another post in the future.) if you are working with problem solving, i think you’d be considered a computer scientist.
