Nenufar: Insulin Pioneers

After attending a meeting of biohacker scientists today doing research on methods to make better, more affordable insulin, we are looking back at the development of insulin and the birth of the modern biotech industry. Here are a few short film clips of interviews with Walter Gilbert and David Goeddel and other insulin related materials:
