John Peterson Myers

John Peterson “Pete” Myers is a founder of Sudoc and serves on the board. As one of the world’s foremost scientific thinkers on challenges related to endocrine disrupting chemicals, Pete coined the term “endocrine disruption” and was one of three authors of the seminal, best seller book Our Stolen Future (1996) that alerted the world to the hormone-disrupting effects of toxic chemicals. Pete is a guiding force in how Sudoc plans to address the need to replace and eliminate toxic chemicals from the lives and the environment.

Pete is the founder and Chief Scientist of Environmental Health Sciences, a not-for-profit organization that promotes public understanding of advances in scientific research on links between the environment, including climate, and human health. For a dozen years beginning in 1990, Dr. Myers served as Director of the W. Alton Jones Foundation in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is actively involved in primary research on the impacts of endocrine disruption.
