Hans Hugo Bruno Selye (January 26, 1907 - October 16, 1982) was a pioneering Hungarian endocrinologist. He became a Doctor of Medicine and Chemistry in Prague in 1929, went to Johns Hopkins University on a Rockefeller Foundation Scholarship in 1931 and then went to McGill University in Montreal where he began researching the issue of stress in 1936. He discovered and documented that stress differs from other physical responses in that it is does not matter if the stressor is good or bad, positive or negative, the response is the same. He coined the terms \'distress\' and \'eustress\' for negative and positive stress. He published 1,700 research papers, 15 monographs and 7 popular books before he died at age 75.
