Dr. ROBERT SAPOLSKY at Las Positas College
Join world renowned neuroscientist Dr. Robert Sapolsky as he explores why we do the things we do.  Based on his highly acclaimed new book BEHAVE: the biology of humans at our best and worst (2017), Dr. Sapolsky discusses his cutting edge research into the neuroscience of what drives us to be so caring, compassionate and altruistic and also intolerant, brutal and violent.

A fascinating speaker, Sapolsky brings humor and humanity to sometimes sobering subject matter and has lectured widely on topics as diverse as stress and stress-related disease, baboons, the biology of our individuality, the biology of religious belief, the biology of memory, schizophrenia, depression, aggression and Alzheimers disease.


Dr. Robert Sapolsky is a professor of biology and neurology at Stanford University, and a research associate with the Institute of Primate Research at the National Museum of Kenya.

He is an acclaimed science and nature writer. In addition to his new book his latest book, BEHAVE, he has authored several other books including A Primates Memoir, The Trouble with Testosterone, and Why Zebras Dont Get Ulcers.

He is the recipient of Rockefeller Universitys Lewis Thomas Prize for Writing about Science, and his research on stress was the feature of an hour-long special that aired on PBS with National Geographic. In addition to his biweekly column for the Wall Street Journal, Mind & Matter, Sapolskys writing has appeared in publications such as Discover and The New Yorker. His new book, Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, is due out this spring.
