Science

A scientist 'r chemist 'r whatever gots to have enough brains to mix 'em things together so they don't assplode in his face!

Science is the skill used for inventing things with a Research Simulator or making skill checks on some science inventions, such as Disruptors and Portal Guns, and also for a few high-tech weapons. Skill in Science is solely dependant on Brains.

Doing Science
You grind science by using science items. The proton pack is an example of a weapon that grinds science when used. But be careful, as science items can harm you when you have low science skill. Crafting items which require you to have skill in science can net you science ip, as can using research simulators, including the food coprocessor.

A good idea is to complete the Ghostbuster job first, as this will give you a level in science and an item of skill enhancing clothing. There also are other clothing items which give a plus to your science skill while you are wearing them.

Chemistry
Chemistry is a subset of Science that allows you to make things using a Chemistry Set and Chemicals. It also lets you make drugged meals, the kind of thing that freaks and abominations enjoy.

Grinding chemistry takes a lot of raw materials - zombie brains, venom sacs, empty syringes, raw meat, pills of any sort and crank are all useful here. Making various hypos is a great way to raise your chemistry skill. Mixing pills into meals you cook on the stove is another way, although this takes a bit more time. Put one pill in the stove at a time to conserve your stocks of phamaceuticals.

Bear in mind that learning chemistry can be a very painful experience as chemistry sets and stoves have a tendency to burn you if you have low skill.
