The plural

die Wissenschaftler - in the plural, every German noun takes the article die.

Why der?

"Wissenschaftler" doesn't follow any of the 35 gender rules - it belongs to the words you learn together with their article, as one unit: der Wissenschaftler. That's exactly what the app's spaced repetition is for.
