Send it to every political leader, so that they approve more funding for basic research.

What a great idea and a charming video! Congratulations.

This is so incredibly well-done!!! (from message to presentation to clarity to "short-and-sweet" length to keep someone's attention). What a great way to demonstrate the basic communication problem between scientists and the public (which personally I think scientists, like myself, are mostly to blame -> when asked the question "should we fund diabetes research or study bacteria", it shouldn't be surprising that most non-researchers choose the former).

This really hit the mark....

And yet I am told that insulin prices continue to skyrocket . . .
