The more digitalization you put into processes, the more you impact efficiency and costs: this is the great lesson of the pandemic.'

In 1955, Dr. Vincent Zigas discovered that kuru, a deadly inflammation of the brain widespread among the indigenous people of New Guinea, was caused by a practice linked to a local funeral rite: eating the brains of deceased relatives. Another encephalopathy that resembles kuru is Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is not only found in New Guinea.
