Deep dives
The Importance of Water Management for Sustainable Growth
Global water use, storage, and distribution contribute 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to environmental reporting non-profit CDP. With more efficient water management, industrial facilities could reduce their water consumption by up to 44%, trim energy use by as much as 22%, and reduce corporate greenhouse gas emissions by up to 12%.
The OpenAI Saga: Importance of Good Corporate Governance
The sudden departure of Sam Altman from OpenAI highlights the importance of good corporate governance. The lack of transparency and communication in his firing raises concerns about the board's decision-making process and its impact on the company's mission and employee morale.
Global Cybersecurity Threats and the Role of AI
Cybersecurity threats, including cybercrime and nation-state attacks, are on the rise globally. Lack of talent or human error is responsible for over half of significant cyber incidents. The use of artificial intelligence can help in quickly detecting and responding to cyber threats, reducing the time from intrusion to breach, and mitigating the impact on businesses.
Growing Popularity of GLP1 Agonists for Weight Loss
Prescriptions for drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovi, known as GLP1 agonists, have quadrupled in recent years. These drugs are appetite suppressants and help in reducing food consumption, resulting in weight loss. Many Americans are now taking these drugs and experiencing positive changes in their lives, such as decreased appetite and a different perspective on food. The popularity and demand for these drugs are expected to continue to grow as pharmaceutical companies explore more clinical uses.

Individuals who use these drugs have noticed changes in their eating habits, with a focus on healthier choices and less obsession with food. Some even choose to skip their weekly injection to enjoy the holiday more. The use of GLP1 agonists during Thanksgiving and other occasions showcases the potential influence of these drugs on food consumption and behavioral changes related to eating.
