Hanna

I wish to honor the memory of Johanna "Hanna" Kolodziejski by supporting a fellowship for Indiana University graduate students who, like Hanna, excel in research and teaching, while striving to improve their community.

 

Welcome to The Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior

The study of animal behavior naturally crosses boundaries between Biology, Psychology, Neural Science, Anthropology and other disciplines. Our Center's primary goal is to foster the integrative study of animal behavior by facilitating interaction among members of these and other departments at Indiana University. We maintain three core facilities providing animal behavior researchers and educators with access to equipment and the expert training necessary to gather and analyze cutting-edge behavioral data. We sponsor invited speakers, workshops and other activities which bring IU researchers together to share their research with each other and with prominent visitors from other institutions. The Center is also dedicated to education, administering an internationally-recognized academic Program in Animal Behavior for both graduate and undergraduate students, which offers ethics training, internships with local not-for-profit organizations, skill-building workshops, and research opportunities. Most of our sponsored events (seminar series, mailing list, conferences) are open to the public. And we are exploring new ways of offering resources to a global audience via the Internet; on this web site one may find research and homework help, information about careers and training in animal behavior, and much more.

The Center staffs and maintains three shared core facilities to support behavioral research and training efforts at Indiana University. The main Center building (402 N. Park) serves as a centrally-located meeting place between the participating departments, with a conference room, reading room, and offices. Our Behavioral Information Technology Center (also at N. Park) includes several networked computers and a lending library of state-of-the-art equipment for behavioral data collection and analysis in the field and lab. Our Animal Behavior Laboratory (136 Jordan Hall) offers services ranging from DNA sequencing to hormone assays at very low cost.
