Come hear the “world’s funniest neuroscientist” Oct. 24

AHS’ 2007 Ruth French Distinguished Lecturer in Health is Robert Sapolsky, PhD, a biologist and neuroscientist who became an expert on the effects of stress on health by living with baboons in Kenya on and off for more than 20 years. He is the author of A Primate’s Memoir, Monkeyluv and Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers—all written for general audiences in a style that the New York Times described as “two parts favorite campus prof, one part cruise-ship comedian.”

The event is presented by the UIC colleges of Applied Health Sciences, Medicine, and Liberal Arts & Sciences.

When Dr. Sapolsky is not in the field, he’s a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow and professor and researcher in neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University. »Read more about Dr. Sapolsky’s work
