I made the same judgment like yours in the beginning. However after working in medical research for 30 years, I changed my opinion. First, in the olden days, the system was very different. Banting may have the idea but he had no funding, no laboratory space and facilities of his own. He needed someone to provide him all of the above and McLeod did exactly that. Without McLeod, Banting may not be able to do any of his work. So in fact for him to show McLeod off by proposing his student Best as a co-winner was not very nice, to put it mildly, to being ungrateful to his benefactor Dr, McCleod. Today, the head of the research lab is called the Principal Investigator, P.I. He/she is responsible for applying for research grants. He/she owns the grant money and hires people to work under him/her. So in today's standard, McCleod was the P. I. who provided Banting with lab space, funding for equipments, dogs and even a student called Best. Some principal investigators work closely with their people and some don't, depending on different situations. But irrespective of who produce the results and who wrote up the paper, the principal investigator's name is always put as the 'last author', if you understand what it means to be called the 'last author' of a research paper. It means he/she is the principal investigator, he/she owns the grant that funds the research, he/she oversees the whole research and signs off the paper, he/she puts his/her reputation at stake on the paper. In today's standard, Dr, McLeod is the principal investigator and the 'last author' of Banting's paper/ work/ achievement. Principal Investigators own the labs, own the grants and every bit of equipment in the lab. They do not usually or necessarily carry out the work themselves. They supervise students, post doctorates and research associates (many of them are Ph. D's) to carry out the projects. In turn, Research associates and students often delegate their work to technicians. So it's a group effort. It's not the glory of one person.

Sou diabético tipo 1 e esse vídeo foi incrível. Obrigado por fazer isso!

Realmente é uma droga milagrosa

And what do you mean by that? I don't understand

Dude I feel that MASSIVELY. I was diagnosed in my late teens and I literally still think about it all the time. For what it is truly worth, Im glad that you werent born before the discovery. Let's make something good about our lives since we've been granted the chance! Maybe even in the way of helping other diabetics get the medicine they need by informing, etc. Keep the faith, man- your fellow sweetblood in arms!! 💪🩸🎗🫂

It may be a bit much to say "other researchers got as far," and "superfluous", but Collip DID have as i see, ex aequo most important role, definitely more than Best Edit: meanwhile Eli Lilly sons of bitches make all the money in the us by elevating prices. Buy Novorapid from Sweden, i do for 15 years now. Not an advertisement, i'm just diabetic xD
