This is Charles Best and Frederick Banting. They were Canadian scientists that won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of insulin in 1923.
Banting was 32 when he received the Nobel Prize and he chose to share half the prize money with Best who was his assistant and just 24 years old at the time.
Banting refused to put his name on the patent and instead sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. He thought it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save millions of lives. "Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.
Unfortunately, the drug today has been subjected to price gouging by pharmaceutical companies with the average price per month rising to $450 in 2016.

This is just the beginning of using my story to create real change. We’re just getting started 🫶🏾💕
@HamlinIsland As the dad of a couple lax players, every sideline should have an AED as well, after reading this article in @USALacrosseMag https://t.co/U1FSFLZS82 I made sure our school does, but what about when the boys travel to others?

I got a report of trees exploding from the sub zero temperatures in Farmington. There is all kinds of crazy going on here. We have a long way to go. #MEwx
