Marie or Pierre Curie, say (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scientist

(Other definitions for scientist that I've seen before include "Eg, a chemist" , "Inset tics for this learned one" , "One studying nature or physics, say" , "Chemist or physicist, for instance" , "It's nicest for one engaged in specialist studies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
