Insulin – on BBC World Service – and ‘Radio Times’

A big thanks to presenter Bridget Kendall, producer Fiona Clampin & fellow guests Alison Li & Viktor Jörgens – I really enjoyed our discussion of the discovery and development of insulin for ‘The Forum’ programme that was broadcast on the BBC World Service yesterday. Thanks also to ‘Radio Times’ for making it a choice of the day! Now downloadable as a podcast here.
