Upon his return home he studied biology at Utrecht University, obtaining his PhD in 1933 with a dissertation on terrestrial mollusk glands. He then took a position at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, where he climbed the ranks. In 1952 he became a Belgian citizen.[2] In 1957 Adam became correspondent of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[3] References1. ^van Goethem, J.L. 1989.
