This will be a list of 365 men that have made outstanding contributions in a STEM field. All birth dates listed are in the Gregorian Calendar even if this calendar was not in use at the time and location of their birth. In some cases birth dates may be approximate. The list should not include men who's principal contributions were in the development or use of weapons. Names on the list may be replaced if better candidates are discovered.
