Dr. Tyrone Hayes, of UC Berkeley, discusses atrazine and how it affects frogs (atrazine is the 2nd most widely used pesticide in the US). Through endocrine disruption, atrazine coerces the transformation of testosterone into estrogen...leading to hermaphraditic behavior. Dr. Hayes also discusses how the EPA and Syngenta have systematically blocked reasonable attempts to bring atrazine under regulation.
