Tyrone Hayes
Dr. Hayes, a professor at the University of California Berkeley, studied the hormone disrupting effects of the pesticide, atrazine on frogs. In reaction to the study’s results, Syngenta, the manufacturer of atrazine, went on a witch hunt to discredit Dr. Hayes and his research.
I have seen Dr. Hayes speak at conferences; he is a knowledgeable and captivating presenter of fairly dry information.
For more on Dr. Hayes and the scary stuff on drug companies read this article entitled US: It's Not Easy Being Green: Are weed-killers turning frogs into hermaphrodites?.
