In a world that seems dominated by so-called influencers and artificial intelligence, Leonor has claimed the value of the “natural intelligents.” The princess, in the speech at the Princesa de Girona awards ceremony held at the Liceu, confessed that her favorite influencers, the people who inspire and influence her “are not characters considered successful or famous or glamorous, nor do they have the official label of aspirational nor measure their worth by certain achievements they post on their networks,” but rather those who “fall in love with problems with the intention of solving them; who tell something important with talent and accompany their craziness with rigor, discipline, and critical thinking.”

Recently, a peptide has transformed medicine. Drugs based on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone released by the intestine after a meal, started as treatments for diabetes before proving especially effective in helping people lose weight.
