Dr. Hans Selye was a pioneering Hungarian-Canadian endocrinologist known for demonstrating the existence of biological stress and indeed coining the term “stress”. Hungarian journalist Zsuzsanna Balázs contacted us about her article on Dr. Selye. She mentions that Selye “later thought that if he knew better English, he would probably have used “strain.””

In 1968 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada – as was Mr. Karsh, in 1990. Dr. Selye was photographed twice, in 1953 and 1973.
