A recent graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Jenny Marder is freelance journalist from Los Angeles whose writing has earned awards from the Los Angeles Press Club, the Association of Health Care Journalists, and the California Newspaper Publisher's Association. From 2004 to 2006, Marder covered local politics and started a health beat at the Long Beach Press-Telegram in California.

Stress in adolescent rats is generally "not an area that has been terribly well-researched," she says. "Adolescence is a time of extreme vulnerability, especially in the brain."
