Robert Sapolsky was my faculty advisor for my biology major in college. He is a phenomenal teacher and lecturer. He told all his classes not to be doctors, but to consider being a bench researcher because if you are able to create a vaccine, you will immediately cure more people than any doctor could help in their lifetime. He is a world famous specialist on stress hormones. This is an article about his research. An article that reminds us that stress is a source of much of our physical, emotional, and mental hardships.
