The Wonder Collaborative's mission is to bring innovative storytellers and the global scientific community together in a spirit of experimentation and collaboration to revolutionize science filmmaking with the wonder, awe, and diversity of discovery. We partner with scientists and filmmakers to develop, produce, and share powerful stories about science. We aim to reinvent science filmmaking to capture the essence, complexity, and process of science to spark wonder among public audiences. We collaborate with scientists at all stages of the storytelling process. We experiment in style, structure, and content. We hope you enjoy our films and short videos.

Our parent organization, iBiology, creates amazing content that digs deeper into biology discoveries. Check out our seminars, short videos, and technique videos at ibiology.org and on our iBiology RU-vid channels.
Please consider joining our distinguished faculty and staff at Duke University Chemistry department, it would truly be an honor to host another Nobel Laureate in Chemistry as a fitting, worthy, truly inspiring Professor, Researcher, and ..
I’m a type 1 45 years now I remember seeing the movie when I was a kid yes great insulin is a beautiful thing but now it’s time we get a cure for type 1 diabetes
Thank you, Dr Jennifer, for your discovery. It is witness for all generations. Dr Md Rahimullah Miah, scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=u09I_eEAAAAJ
In science we are often attracted towards the exotic. But sometimes curiosity drives you to the mundane. When you uncover a layer in the mundane and find something puzzling, that tells you that we actually don't quite understand the mundane. 😊😊😊😊 These lines are so moving. I bought a microscope just because of this line. Thank you.
I made the same judgment like yours in the beginning. However after working in medical research for 30 years, I changed my opinion. First, in the olden days, the system was very different. Banting may have the idea but he had no funding, no laboratory space and facilities of his own. He needed someone to provide him all of the above and McLeod did exactly that. Without McLeod, Banting may not be able to do any of his work. So in fact for him to show McLeod off by proposing his student Best as a co-winner was not very nice, to put it mildly, to being ungrateful to his benefactor Dr, McCleod. Today, the head of the research lab is called the Principal Investigator, P.I. He/she is responsible for applying for research grants. He/she owns the grant money and hires people to work under him/her. So in today's standard, McCleod was the P. I. who provided Banting with lab space, funding for equipments, dogs and even a student called Best. Some principal investigators work closely with their people and some don't, depending on different situations. But irrespective of who produce the results and who wrote up the paper, the principal investigator's name is always put as the 'last author', if you understand what it means to be called the 'last author' of a research paper. It means he/she is the principal investigator, he/she owns the grant that funds the research, he/she oversees the whole research and signs off the paper, he/she puts his/her reputation at stake on the paper. In today's standard, Dr, McLeod is the principal investigator and the 'last author' of Banting's paper/ work/ achievement. Principal Investigators own the labs, own the grants and every bit of equipment in the lab. They do not usually or necessarily carry out the work themselves. They supervise students, post doctorates and research associates (many of them are Ph. D's) to carry out the projects. In turn, Research associates and students often delegate their work to technicians. So it's a group effort. It's not the glory of one person.
Cool- not only do we get to celebrate 2 scientists who helped save our lives, but so many!! Not just the ones who helped to discover all of the hypothesis and methods, but the ones today. Lets also celebrate the ones who have helped us to have blood testing methods, faster acting insulins, CGM tech, ketone monitoring- so much more has already been accomplished! The more to celebrate the merrier, for real 🙏💪
I couldn't agree more on society Responsibility to Regulate ethical reasons as to where it would be used and why. The risks of gene editing as opposed to its benefits on suffering individuals of wĥich would be relief and hopeful. CRISPR Cas 9 has it's breakthroughs though a need of gradual application is important. Great interview Dan Rather and Jennifer Doudna.
I was born & raised in London Ontario where Banting lived & where that flame burns 24 hours. They should make a movie about this & about the invention of penacillin. Both saved millions of lives & most a big reason for population explosion.
Might be fair to say if you look deeply most of research these days is also similar to Klein sadly they do a lot and suddenly in rush of need of funds or fear of lab closure they just publish and publish without hitting that holy grail for treatment
I was diagnosed in my late 20s and had a hard time coping with the fact that 100 years ago i would have withered away and died without this miracle drug. I felt like i was cheating death because so many before me suffered and did die, and i was just lucky enough to be born after this discovery became accessible. I still feel that way.. but it makes me all the more grateful for my fellow man that took the time to research and develop this treatment
Dude I feel that MASSIVELY. I was diagnosed in my late teens and I literally still think about it all the time. For what it is truly worth, Im glad that you werent born before the discovery. Let's make something good about our lives since we've been granted the chance! Maybe even in the way of helping other diabetics get the medicine they need by informing, etc. Keep the faith, man- your fellow sweetblood in arms!! 💪🩸🎗🫂
Went out yesterday morning and “realized” things were eerily quiet…. No birds….no squirrels …no barking… nothing…stopped in my tracks …hair on the back of my neck on end….suddenly a loud “swooping” …wings flapping ….noise broke the silence and a very large hawk came out from where ever it had been hiding and with laser like precision “pounced?” On a bird that had been hiding camouflaged in some limbs…a small storm of feathers afterwards the hawk flew off …its prey in its claws. The natural movements and noise began shortly there after. The question I had this morning listening to this…. Was not just how do we “remember” but how do we “know” what we don’t know we know…. Like the sea turtle “knowing” where the sea is? “Deathly quiet” suddenly took on a new meaning….despite my intuitive knowledge of its significance. Great interview… should be required viewing….more for the teachers than the students.
It may be a bit much to say "other researchers got as far," and "superfluous", but Collip DID have as i see, ex aequo most important role, definitely more than Best Edit: meanwhile Eli Lilly sons of bitches make all the money in the us by elevating prices. Buy Novorapid from Sweden, i do for 15 years now. Not an advertisement, i'm just diabetic xD
Amazing, absoutely innovating i can't wait for this deveice to take over the world. I want everyone to have blue eyes, and blonde hair. Have a belsed sday! GO OHIO BEST STATE IN USA. TRUMP 2024 LEADING CRISPR GENE EDITING AND NOMINATE BILL CLINTON BACK. *Thumbs up*
God bless U and thank U for your work. It could be a game changer in the way health care is provided. It's not a bandaid approach to fixing a problem. It actually fixes the problem. && U are an amazing very intelligent person. Thank U
