Are you reporting your results to someone else who is analyzing them?
Yeah. I plant and infest experiments according to my boss's design, take data, enter and email it to my boss. I don't develop or test hypotheses, I don't have any advanced expertiese in the fields of either agronomy or entomology. I can actually post my government job description, if you like.
Obviously, I don't do all of the scientific method; really, I assist with the middle two steps - I perform the experiments and I record the data. I don't develop hypotheses, analyze data, or publish. My boss does those things.
But I work in the technical service department and most of the experiments I do are from questions that customers are asking. So, its up to me to design the experiment, obtain the results, and report them to the customer. If we were a bigger company, my job might be done by three people, if there was an aid or a tech in the lab.
What kind of experiments are these, exactly?
