- Frederick Banting writing down his ideas about the pancreas
- I think I got it but I'll need some help from a physiologist!
- Banting and Best find some success from their experiments
- I think adding a bio-chemist to this group will fix that!
- We're definitely onto something but we're not quite there yet.
- James Bertram Collip is added to the team
- On Oct 31st 1920,Frederick Banting wrote down his ideas for research on the pancreas.Nobody knew that this idea consisting of 25 wordswould be the beginning of a life saving treatment for millions in the future.

- Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine Winners
- Yay I won!
