July 27 - Banting & Best isolate insulin

 Better living through Chemistry.

In 1921 diabetics were given some hope as 2 doctors in Canada were able to isolate insulin at the University of Toronto.


Charles Best and Frederick Banting ftw.


I bet they celebrated a little with a different kind of liquid - in the USA it's National Scotch Day (which is interesting as Whisky Day has 2 different days internationally; 3rd Saturday in May and March 15)
