They are (mostly) hired from [[Adjust the Staffing of your Lab]]. These experts give a lot of ordinary research in their fields, and some produce specialized forms of research as well. Experts also give unique textual insights into the current experiment, though they may not have much to say about experiments outside their field. |
While experts can produce research on any topic, most have more powerful options available during experiments that match their expertise. Certain ranges of {{IL|Experimental Object}}, the research project at hand, are associated with specific topics of research like chemistry, biology, history, and so on. Some projects will set additional Focus qualities like {{IL|Red Science Focus}} or {{IL|Monstrous Focus}}. Experts can have options unlocked with certain Experimental Object ranges, specific single experiments, or specific Focuses. | While experts can produce research on any topic, most have more powerful options available during experiments that match their expertise.

They require training in order to maximize their usefulness. Students are unlocked after completing a [[Accept a Palaeontological Task from the Dean|Palaeontological Task for the Dean]]. Accepting the task will give you your first student and unlock [[Manage the Students in your Laboratory]], which allows you to hire more. Graduating a Student will increase the {{IL|Teaching Reputation of Your Laboratory}} by 1-3 levels and give you a small reward, which depends on the type of student. High {{IL|Teaching Reputation of Your Laboratory|Appearance = Reputation}} is required to hire better students. |
* A Shifty Student. Shifty Students don't produce a lot of research but can be graduated quickly to raise the {{IL|Teaching Reputation of Your Laboratory}}. His associated card is [[Work with your Shifty Student]]. Graduating him gives only 1 reputation. | * A Shifty Student.
