In among the birds of prey, hip-hop dancers and pipe bands at the Tayport Village Summer Festival on 17th July 2010, the 'Made of Molecules' tent was non-stop busy, featuring three activities on the theme of sugar and diabetes. Carol MacKintosh and Kirsty MacKenzie of the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit demonstrated how the pancreas sends insulin signals to our muscles. Angie Nicoll of SCILLs helped Tayporters make over 70 bead bracelets representing a section of the insulin gene code. Linda Morris and David Norman of the College of Life Sciences caused alarm by letting people measure how much sugar was in their favourite fizzy drink.
