The original Dalek Scientist had served as part of the Paradigm's [[Dalek Council|Supreme Council]] until their repeated failures. During the [[Reinvention of the Dalek Empire|ensuing]] reign of the [[resurrected Dalek Empire]], the Scentist, despite the Paradigm's decreased influence, still served the Daleks. It was unable to translate [[The Question|a message]] coming from [[Trenzalore]], forcing a [[Dalek Fleet]] to follow it and investigate.

* [[Mark Gatiss]] coined the name. | |||
* ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' nicknamed the Scientist Dalek the "Baked-bean Dalek". | |||
* As of 2020, the Scientist Dalek is the only one of the five main [[New Dalek Paradigm]] ranks to not appear on-screen since their first appearance in ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]''. At least one Dalek of every other rank has appeared in at least one TV story after. | |||
* According to the [[T:IU|non-narrative source]] ''[[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2011]]'', the Scientist Dalek's role was to examine and formulate new weapons as well as to analyse the genetic and physiological make-up of the Daleks' enemies so that their weaknesses could be isolated. | |||
* "New Paradigm Scientist Dalek" is one of Dalek enemies used in the ''[[Legacy (video game)|Doctor Who: Legacy]]'' mobile game. | |||
* All five archetypes of the New Dalek Paradigm feature in ''The Lego Batman Movie'', appearing among the inhabitants of the Phantom Zone, alongside many famous villains from a number of fictional franchises. Like the others, they are unleashed upon Gotham City by the supervillain known as "the Joker" at the climax of the film, only to be defeated and sealed back inside the prison dimension. Their one line is the exclamation "Exterminate!", actually a piece of archive audio originally recorded by [[Nicholas Briggs]] for ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]''. However, no evidence exists that their appearance in the film was duly licensed. | |||
* In ''[[Dalek Hack (video game)|Dalek Hack]]'', the player has the option to turn a Dalek's [[casing]], shaped identically to the [[bronze Dalek]], into any of the five colours of the New Dalek Paradigm. | |||
