Scientist is a role in Among Us, first shown during the Summer Game Fest.[1] It is based on the Crewmate role with the added ability to view the Vitals interface from anywhere on the map.

Main article: Vitals
Scientists have a portable Vitals monitor that allows them to view the Vitals interface from anywhere on the map, including maps that otherwise do not have a stationary Vitals monitor, such as The Skeld and MIRA HQ. The portable Vitals monitor has a battery that drains upon use but recharges as the Scientist completes tasks or automatically recharges if they have completed all of their tasks.

- Probability
- The maximum number of Crewmates that can become Scientists, and the likelihood of any given Crewmate to become one.
- Vitals Display Cooldown
- The amount of time between the use of the Vitals monitor by the Scientist before they can use it again.
- Battery Duration
- How long the battery lasts.
Trivia[]
- There is a glitch where Scientists are unable to perform any tasks.
- In the trailer announcing its release, the role is represented by Blue, who wears a scientist's coat.
- Scientists will retain their portable Vitals monitor as a ghost unless they become a Guardian Angel.
