How does the Scientist role work in Among Us?

The scientist role in Among Us allows players to check the vital signs of all players in the game via the vitals panel. Using this panel will enable the scientist to keep an eye on the status of the crew and know when someone dies in the game.

But to keep using the vitals panel, players will need to charge a battery for it. Luckily this battery can be charged little by little as players complete tasks in Among Us. 

Ultimately the scientist role in Among Us comes down to players roaming the map, completing tasks, and monitoring the life status of the crew. When someone dies, ideally, it would be the scientist's job to let the crew know so they can start a meeting and figure out what happened.
