Luiz Biondi is a PhD student at the University of Aveiro, with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and another one in Veterinary Medicine. Luiz also have a master’s in Science in the Experimental Psychology Program of the University of São Paulo when studying positional behavior of wild primates in Brazil. Currently, his main research field concerns the processing of snakes as visual stimuli and the physiological responses to them, since the evolutionary history of primates, shared with these predators, may have left a physiological and behavioral heritage in modern humans.
