About this career
Biological technicians are the hands-on helpers in research labs — setting up experiments, running tests, recording data, and keeping equipment working. It's one of the more accessible ways into science, often with a two-year degree. A good first step if you like careful lab work and want to get into the field without a four-year degree right away.
