Asking Why

According to my parents, like lots of kids I asked a lot of questions when I was younger. And I still do. I love it when long-held questions find new answers. In this case, the question is "What's up with teenagers?"
One stab at an answer comes from John Medina, one of my professors at the University of Washington. (He's also very active at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle, and was always one of my favorite speakers).
Prof. Medina is still doing tons of research and consulting, and now has a book and blog as well, both called Brain Rules. His latest blog entry is the first of two articles on adolescent brain development and psychopathologies. If you can get past some of the big words (I read several sentences twice) it's pretty interesting stuff!
