With a doctorate in the biological sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, Pete Myers is founder and CEO of Environmental Health Sciences, an organization engaged in advancing public understanding of environmental links to health. He is also senior advisor to Commonweal and to the Jenifer Altman Foundation on environmental threats to children's health. From 1990 through the end of 2001, Myers served as Director of the W. Alton Jones Foundation in Charlottesville, Virginia, guiding the foundation's philanthropic support of work to reduce the risks of nuclear war and to protect the global environment. Prior posts include Senior Vice President for Science at the National Audubon Society in New York and research scientist at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Along with co-authors Dr. Theo Colborn and Dianne Dumanoski, he wrote "Our Stolen Future," a book (1996) that explores the scientific basis of concern for how contamination threatens fetal development. Myers now writes, edits and publishes a companion website for their book, www.OurStolenFuture.org, which tracks changes in science and policy that have followed the book's publication. Dr. Myers has served on the boards of the Consultative Group for Biological Diversity (Chairman 1995-1997), a consortium of 40-plus foundations working to enhance the maintenance of biological systems and their contributions to human prosperity, and the National Audubon Society (1991-1995). In 1992 he was appointed by the Governor of Virginia to a 4-year term on the Virginia Pesticide Control Board. Currently he is on the boards of the National Environmental Trust and the Public Education Center.
