Robert Sapolsky is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Neuroendocrinologist; three decades of field research on stress and the primate brain, and author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers and Behave
Robert Sapolsky was raised as an Orthodox Jew in Brooklyn. He spent more than thirty years dividing his time between Stanford and a troop of baboons in Kenya, showing how social rank and chronic stress damage the body through glucocorticoids — work that reshaped how medicine understands stress-related disease. His books Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers and Behave carried that science to a general readership.
