I have a new article today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal entitled “Rethinking the ‘discovery’ of insulin” in which I argue that our use of the term “discovery” bears closer inspection.

A special thank you to Carlo Magaard-Romano and Terrie Romano for their photo which captures the theme so well.
