Adam Schalimtzek
I was born 25 years ago in Copenhagen,
Denmark. When I was seven years old my family moved to Israel, and
since
then I have lived in the city of Raánana near Tel Aviv. In
addition
to Hebrew I speak Danish and English. I am an undergraduate student in
the Psychobiology
Program
at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem, combining psychology and
biology.
In the (little) spare time I have, I like to play (and watch)
basketball,
watch movies, go on trips and drink beer.
My current research
focuses
on urban bird species. I am aiming at finding traits and behaviors
characteristic
of urban bird species, particularly the species found in Israel and
especially
in Jerusalem. Among other things, I try to find a correlation between
the
relative brain size of a bird (reflecting its degree of innovation and
behavioral flexibility) and its success in becoming established in
urban
environments.
