Integridad: Scientist<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a child Ram\u00f3n y Cajal <\/a>was transferred many times from one school to another because of behavior that was declared poor, rebellious, and showing an anti-authoritarian attitude. An extreme example of his precociousness and rebelliousness is his imprisonment at the age of eleven for destroying his neighbor\u2019s yard gate with a homemade cannon.<\/p>\n

He was an avid painter, artist, and gymnast, but his father neither appreciated nor encouraged these abilities, even though the artistic talents would contribute to his success later in life. In order to tame the unruly character of his son, his father apprenticed him to a shoemaker and barber. \u201cTo try and give his son much-needed discipline and stability, Don Justo apprenticed him out to a barber\u201d. He was well known for his pugnacious attitude as he worked.<\/p>\n

Over the summer of 1868, Ram\u00f3n y Cajal\u2019s father, hoping to interest his son in a medical career, took him to graveyards to find human remains for anatomical study. Sketching bones was a turning point for him and subsequently, he did pursue studies in medicine.<\/p>\n

Ram\u00f3n y Cajal attended the medical school of the University of Zaragoza, where his father was an anatomy teacher. He graduated in 1873. After a competitive examination, he served as a medical officer in the Spanish Army. He took part in an expedition to Cuba in 1874-75, where he contracted malaria and tuberculosis. In order to cure these conditions, he attended the Panticosa spa-town in the Pyrenees.<\/p>\n

After returning to Spain he married Silveria Fa\u00f1an\u00e1s Garc\u00eda in 1879, with whom he had four daughters and three sons. In 1877, he received his doctorate in medicine in Madrid and was awarded the position of anatomy professor of the University of Valencia in 1883. He later held professorships in both Barcelona (1887) and Madrid (1892). He was also the director of the Zaragoza Museum (1879), director of the Instituto Nacional de Higiene \u2013 translated as National Institute of Hygiene \u2013 (1899), and founder of the Laboratorio de Investigaciones Biol\u00f3gicas \u2013 translated as the Laboratory of Biological Investigations \u2013 (1922), later renamed to the Instituto Cajal, or Cajal Institute.<\/p>\n

On his political and religious views, it was first said that he \u201cwas a liberal in politics, an evolutionist in philosophy, an agnostic in religion\u201d.Nonetheless, he later regretted having left religion, and ultimately, he became convinced of a belief in God as a creator, as stated during his first lecture before the Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences. He joined a Masonic lodge in 1877.<\/p>\n

He met Diego when he was lecturing at one of the Universities. The two struck up a friendship, and when Diego informed him about Vampires he took the opportunity, knowing all he wanted was time to study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
