I was delighted to be invited by Jim and Bob Banting to participate in their podcast, “Life and Times of Sir Frederick Banting.” This episode, created in partnership with Defining Moments Canada, discusses the heritage and legacy of insulin after 100 years. Other guests include Dr. Christopher Rutty, Grant Maltman, the curator of the Banting House National Historic Site, and Defining Moments Canada Director Jennifer Terry.

Please visit the Defining Moments Canada website to listen to this podcast. This episode was dedicated to the memory of historian Michael Bliss whose scholarship has shaped our understanding of the discovery of insulin.
