Scientific Department

The Scientific Department is the backbone of the SCP Foundation. The Scientific Department is responsible for studying all contained and new SCP objects, developing countermeasures for containment breach events and designing various devices and medicinal products to be produced by the Manufacturing Department. Scientific Department employees are recruited from among the best and most promising scientists in various fields. The eight primary fields of research are: Biology, Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Earth Sciences, Esoterica, Mathematics, Physics, and Social Sciences.

Overview:
The Biology Division of the SCP Foundation is pretty self explanatory. They deal with any form of anomaly that involves tissues, cells, and other life-related factors. For example, Botanists, Zoologists, and Xenobiologists all fall into this division. They are considered one of the primary divisions in Area-17, as Area-17 deals with primarily humanoid anomalies.

Division Staff:
Dr. Jonathan Dutch (Head Researcher)

Dr. Alder Seed (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Aaron Michaels (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Alan Smith (Researcher)

Dr. Marc Latrique (Researcher)

Jr.R. Marjorie Archambault (Junior Researcher)

Dr. Dallas Roberts (Junior Researcher)

Overview:
The Chemistry & Chemical Engineering Division is a branch of the Scientific Department that is primarily focused on the chemical composition of anomalous objects, typically on the molecular level. They are sometimes also tasked with the creation of chemical suppression weaponry used by the SCP Foundation, such as the development of amnestics.

Division Staff:
Dr. Hekima Shion (Area Research Chief)

Dr. Tim Sceptre (Head Researcher)

Dr. Alexei Kessikbayev (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Ema Skye (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Baihei (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Andrew Pax (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Robin Rose (Junior Researcher)

Dr. Olivia Pierce (Junior Researcher)

Overview:
The Civil Engineering Division is a branch of the Scientific Department responsible for research into structural anomalies, typically those involving humanoid buildings and architecture. They work in tandem with both the Esoterica and Physics Divisions to unravel and document structural anomalies that have Non-Euclidian geometry. As a great man once said, who says walls that don't bleed don't need research?

Overview:
The Earth Sciences Division of the Scientific Department is responsible for anything and everything relating to... well... earth sciences. This includes, but isn't limited to, Meteorology, Hydrology, Geology, Oceanology, and so on. This Division is known for its 'field trips', as they often are allowed to leave the facility to research and discover geological anomalies and the like.

Division Staff:
Dr. Elias Arellano (Head Researcher)

Dr. Touko Blaze (Junior Researcher)

Dr. Andrew "Cyan" Penn (Junior researcher)

Overview:
Esoterica is the most esoteric branch of the Scientific Department, responsible for researching things that would be considered entirely outside of the realm of normalcy. This includes, but is not limited to, memetics and antimemetics, counter-conceptual-anomalies, cognitohazards, ontokinetic anomalies, infohazards, alchemical anomalies, and thaumatology (the study of magic).

Division Staff:
Dr. Wahnsin Dolor (Head Researcher)

Dr. Lucifer Ramirez (Senior Researcher)

Dr. Madelyn von Richthofen (Researcher)

Jr.R. Sabrina von Richthofen (Junior Researcher)

Overview:
I mean, come on. What do you think? Mathematical Researchers are responsible for research into anomalous mathematics. Anything to do with logical processes defined within mathematical equations are within their field of research. There really isn't much more to say about these guys?

Division Staff:

Overview:
The Physics Division is responsible for a whole host of different research topics, including electromagnetic anomalies, nuclear anomalies, temporal anomalies, spatial anomalies, transdimensional anomalies, and dimensional anomalies. Anything that involves research between the anomalous fundamental constituents of matter is hosted in this division.

Division Staff:
Dr. Wilbur Wilson (Researcher)

Dr. Emiline Shortz (Junior Researcher)

Overview:
The Social Sciences Division is responsible for the research of artistic, historical, religious, anthropological, and sociological anomalies. Anything that affects the human mind on a mass scale is researched here, as well as anything psychologically anomalous.

Division Staff:
Dir. Jim Thompson (Area Research Director)

Dr. Luc Comtois (Junior Researcher)

Overview:
Individuals assigned to all-purpose research go here.
