No idea who the fastest scientist is, but I think Daniele Meucci (13:19, 27:32) is the fastest engineer, right? |

Daniel Lincoln either IS or IS ON HIS WAY to becoming a doctor of medicine, which is a scientist. He's pretty fast. |

was pretty fast, lots of former great runners went on to be great scientists, engineers etc. |

Aren't most runners scientists or engineers? |

MDs aren't scientists. |

Yeah, science is not perfectly defined Lets go with these two: Fastest formal scientist (math or cs) Fastest engineer, who I believe is Meucci? |

A mathematician is not a scientist and a computer "scientist" is most definitely not a scientist. CS is an admirable profession but is isn't in anyway a science. Real science is empirical science like physics, chemistry, biology and their various sub-disciplines like neuroscience.

They are science but not formal science. But formal science isn't science.

Roger Bannister was a neuroscientist and was the fastest miler in the world in his day with his 3:59.4 and later 3:58.8(?) beating Landy. |
| fair enough |

Tim Hacker does cancer research now, he was pretty beastly back in the day. 1500m 3:34.66 Koblenz (GER) 13.08.1987 Mile 3:55.19 New York (USA) 22.07.1989 3000m 7:43.21 Stockholm (SWE) 03.07.1989 3000m ind. 8:06.11 Madison (USA) 29.01.2000 5000m 13:37.79 Walnut (USA) 19.04.1998 |

I believe that Andy Baddely studied aerospace engineering at Cambridge. |

Lets just forget about science and just focus on searching the fastest engineer Im gonna check out those names you wrote to see if I can find confirmation that they studied engineering |

So the list of fastest engineers/distance runners would be (olympic distances only): 800 1:46 Baddeley 1500 3:34 Baddeley 5000 13:19 Meucci 10000 27:32 Meucci Marathon 2:13:49 Meucci See if you can find someone faster of if this is the definitive list |

We could do a women list also if someone has info |

Think Molly Pritz might be a geologist. |

Good call. I agree, but he might not get as much love here for 'only' a 2:45. Still, he has an interesting marathon time-to-science contribution ratio. I'm into the history of the founding fathers of algorithms and computer science, and since I'll never be that good of a computer scientist/engineer, I'm trying to beat his marathon time. |

How about Erica Larson for the ladies? (OT qualifier, but the multiple Pikes Peak marathon/ascent wins seem more impressive to me) |
