R. Winn HardinSTANFORD, Calif. -- It's a jungle out there. No one knows this better than Robert Sapolsky, a professor of neuroscience and biology at Stanford University. For years, Sapolsky has investigated the biological causes and ramifications of stress in baboons and rats. He journeys to East Africa each year to observe animals in the wild and to learn how coping mechanisms, personality and hierarchal position affect stress. As a result, Sapolsky has some advice for business executives. Executive stress syndrome. "[It's] a myth, mostly put out by executives. It's middle management that has ... the...Read full articleRelated content from Photonics MediaArticlesOMNIVISION Achieves Two Sensor FirstsSemiconductor technology and digital image company OMNIVISION has developed pixel technology that is smaller than the wavelength of red light.
