Ramón y Cajal: Historia de una voluntad: Capítulo 5 - Matrimonio y oposiciones | RTVE Archivo

Cajal has finished his memoirs and receives a letter from Birchoski recounting the events that occurred following Hitler's arrival and asking him to arrange political asylum. He recalls his first acquaintance with Silveria in 1879: after several days of observing her, he decided to follow her, and they formalized their relationship, meeting in the presence of her mother. They married very early, and the ceremony was attended by Pedro, the groom's brother, and the bride's mother. He began researching in his new home and made his first discovery (the presence of platelets in the blood of a frog). He used his wife's savings (used to buy curtains) and the proceeds from selling emulsions designed for photographic plates to publish it. Due to the university comments on this publication, Don Justo visited the couple (his wife had already done so). He criticized him for conducting research alone. He advised him to apply for a professorship so he could live and research.
