  The COVID-19 pandemic has put the world to the test. Never before have we been so aware of the many ways we come into contact with innumerable others. We have been forced to reassess and retrain common habits, from the handshake to the simple act of opening a door.

The sum of all of these contacts forms a large and d

Growing up in a business-focused family, it seemed the only way to start your own company was, in fact, to do it yourself.  Fast-forward to founding my startup in the States and I soon found out that raising money from external investors was actually the norm among my entrepreneur peers. But I stood my ground — I wanted to build my business

We may never find out precisely where or when it occurred, nor the animal which was responsible. But we do know that these “spillover events” are the starting points of many outbreaks, from influenza to HIV and from SARS to COVID-19. Zoonotic diseases are caused by pathogens which originate in other animal species. Some diseases, such as rabi

  Way back in 2014, when Google Pay was known as Google Wallet, the company offered a debit card you could use with your Wallet balance.
