Bust of Dr.Alfredo Magalhaes

First of all, I'll tell you a little bit about Dr. Alfredo de Magalhaes, a marine biologist born in Lamego (Portugal) in the 19th century. He attended college in Lisbon, where he lived with his family. In 1911, he entered the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon, and graduated brilliantly in 1917. Medicine was not what he wanted to do, but rather was something imposed by his family. He planned to study engineering when his medical career ended. In 1920, he finished his Doctorate of Medicine, but his disinterest was compounded over time in civilian and military hospitals during the flu epidemic in 1918.
