Depends on the kind of change. Scientific theories, by their very nature, change as time goes on. Science is always changing, and has brought about change as we understand the universe better and better. The rapid rise of technology over the past 50 years is thanks to science. All in all I don't think scientists are more or less affected by change then anyone else. Farmers have to deal with changes in the agricultural industry and entertainers have to deal with the changing tastes of audiences. Every profession pretty much deals with constant change.

I was an engineer intimidated by constant change. Not only that but the restrictions put on you keeping you from being able to learn machines, equipment, study papers on your own after hours in the lab or the office.
I don't know how to overcome it, but you will have to do it somehow. That is how it is in today's science and engineering. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

I think that most scientists find change to be inspiring, and the motivation to do cutting-edge research is very strong in most scientists. There are hazards associated with technological change. When the emphasis at Universities is on getting papers published in the scientific journals, the quality and completeness of the research can suffer and tend towards mediocrety. In industry the focus is on creating intellectual property and obtaining patents. Again, the quality of the research is superceded by the push to generate more and more research.
The sheer volume of papers published makes it very time consuming for scientists to keep up-to-date in their fields. In response to this, scientists specialize, becoming world experts in their chosen field. It is becomming increasingly difficult to be a generalist in science, and obtain the bredth of scientific knowledge to create really revolutionary ideas.

well it depends , if that scientist does not like doing a t lot of paper work they probably would be a little intimated
but lets say this other scientists loves discovering new things he wouldn't be really intimidated i would think because he would so happy that found the cure for cancer or something like that.

I do not understand the question? Constant change in what? Your Question is only half formed.
