Since "Walter Reed" is in the news, an interesting science history tidbit. The US army physician Walter Reed, as part of his work confirming that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes, used human volunteers who allowed themselves to be bitten by infected mosquitoes.

Nick Adonidas from the TV show The Beachcombers, played by Canadian heart-throb Bruno Gerussi. He is a handsome Greek man with bushy dark hair, mustache, an open jean shirt and tank top, and signature medallion (cross). Doing the duck face before it was cool.
