      This question is not very clear to me but Yes, scientists have families. What made you think this way?

      Scientists do have families—just like people in any other profession. Being a scientist is a career, not a lifestyle that excludes personal relationships. Many scientists are parents, spouses, siblings, and children within their families. While research and academic work can be demanding, scientists often balance their professional and personal lives, just like teachers, doctors, or engineers. In fact, support from family can be a strong motivation for many scientists in their pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
