EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned Canadian physiologist, Charles Herbert Best, in his element during the year 1960. Standing alongside an assistant in their laboratory, Best's dedication to science and medicine is palpable. Best played a crucial role in medical history as he assisted Frederick Banting in isolating insulin back in 1921. However, his contributions extended beyond this groundbreaking discovery; he also made significant findings related to choline and histaminase. In this snapshot of intellectual pursuit, we witness the essence of scientific exploration unfolding before our eyes. The laboratory equipment surrounding them serves as a testament to their commitment to unraveling the mysteries of physiology and biology. As a male scientist who dedicated his life to advancing knowledge and understanding within his field, Best exemplifies the epitome of professionalism and expertise. His presence resonates with authority while simultaneously exuding humility. Set against the backdrop of Canada, where Best hails from, this image encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an entire era—the mid-20th century—when breakthroughs were being made that would shape modern medicine forever.
