What do you think the publics perceptions of physicists are compared to doctors, lawyers and other scientific disciplines.

I think that about sums it up!

The general perception of physicists is that they are highly intelligent individuals who study and understand the laws of the universe through mathematical equations and experiments. They are often seen as analytical, logical, and detail-oriented individuals.
No, not all physicists work in academia or research labs. Many physicists also work in industries such as technology, engineering, and finance. Some may even work in government agencies or as science communicators.
No, physicists also conduct experiments and gather data to test their theories. They use advanced technologies and equipment to observe and measure physical phenomena, and then analyze the data to support or refute their theories.
In most cases, a PhD is required to become a physicist. However, there are some positions that may only require a master's degree or even a bachelor's degree in physics. It ultimately depends on the specific job and industry.
No, most physicists specialize in a specific area of physics such as astrophysics, quantum mechanics, or particle physics. While they may have a general understanding of other areas, they are not considered experts in all fields of physics.
