Santiago Ramon y Cajal --------------------------------------... Spain is very proud of Nobel laureate Ramon y Cajal. He was closely associated with the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid. His death in 1934 was a day of national mourning. He was important not only as a neuroscientist but as an educational leader, and indeed as a man of letters. He was elected to the Academy of Sciences. Born in an Aragonese village, he was a young trouble-maker, landing once in jail. He studied medicine at the University of Saragossa, the state of which may be judged from the fact that anatomy was taught with cardboard skeletons. He was sent to Cuba to fight in the 1898 war. He gives an account of the experiences of a Spanish common soldier. Americans know the war only from the American viewpoint. Few know anything about the Cuban viewpoint, and virtually none have any idea of the Spanish experience, which led to the important Generation of '98. The war wounded the Spanish psyche, and this must be born in mind today. He told the later story of his life in his two-volume memoirs and in his account of his view of life at age 80. He was born in 1851, so he was 80 in 1931, just the year the monarchy was overthrown and Ramon y Cajal's liberal friends came to power. He wrote stories and a book about Don Quijote. As a writer, he would have been ignored by the outside world, which has the crazy idea that Garc Lorca is the most important Spanish writer of the period. It is of course as a scientist that he is world-famous. This year marks the centennial of the publication of his most important scientific work, Textura del sistema nervioso del hombre y de los vertebrados, which deals with consciousness, a topic hotly debated today. The University of Saragossa will hold an international conference on it from November 29 to December 1. The program is studded with the names of significant scientists, and the organizing committee includes two Santiago Ramon y Cajal, presumably the son and grandson of the great scientist.

I can probably find the name of a famous Spanish scientist, but that will not prove that you deserve to remain in "gifted", especially when you refuse to use the correct spelling for school.

then as of now you are getting kicked out of your gifted class which you probably shouldn't be in the first place, you probably cheat on the gifted test.
