Quotes by Hans Selye

About Hans Selye:


János Hugo Bruno was a pioneering Austrian-Canadian endocrinologist of Hungarian origin. He conducted much important scientific work on the hypothetical non-specific response of an organism to stressors. Although he did not recognize all of the many aspects of glucocorticoids, Selye was aware of their role in the stress response. Some commentators[who?] consider him the first to demonstrate the existence of biological stress.
