Rachel Syme: selfies - more than looking 'super hot'
BODY:
Selfies have long been connected to narcissism, but New York writer Rachel Syme is offering a different spin - could selfies really progress the feminist movement?
EXTENDED BODY:
Selfies have long been connected to narcissism, but a New York writer is offering a different spin - could selfies really progress the feminist movement?
Rachel Syme is a writer, reporter, and editor currently working on her first non-fiction book and her latest essay, Selfie, has just been published in the online journal Matter.
Selfie makes the case that women who take and post selfies of themselves on social media are making up for lost centuries of female invisibility.
While women in the past have had their image and stories concealed, selfies were a way of allowing women to write their own stories - to show the world how they wanted to be seen.
"I think deciding that you deserve to be looked at and have your body and space on somebody's feed is a pretty feminist action.
"It can start a dialogue about your own self image and self representation. I think it can be a lot more than 'hey, I look super hot today'."
Selfies can be problematic if they were the sole way of boosting a person's self esteem, Ms Syme admitted, but they were also a way for people to express themselves and communicate.
Ms Syme, who used social media herself to post selfies, made a shout-out online for people to send her their own selfies with a description of what they meant to them.
"Almost 200 people emailed me with stories as various as 'this is a selfie right after I got out of chemo', 'here's a seflie of myself in my most saddest, most depressed moment', 'this is the first time I ever felt beautiful', 'this is the first time I ever accepted my body size', and some people who are transitioning gender and using selfies as a way to express their gender identity - I got so many different kinds of stories I couldn't believe it."
The editing process many people use - such as adding filters and smoothing skin with Photoshop - may not be seen by some as something that allowed people to show their true selves.
But Ms Syme said women, including herself, could still edit their photos without playing into the perfection complex. However, many young women she interviewed told her they preferred to see original photos of their friends online, than edited versions.
Most importantly, even if photos are edited, it was the creator of the selfie who was running the process - taking control of how they wanted to be seen, Ms Syme said.
That was something women in the past did not have the opportunity to do.
"Now we have the ability to at the touch of our smart phones but it is still somewhat discouraged or thought of as a kind of shameful or narcissistic practice, and yet it's something I think those women would have loved to have partaken in."

Gene editing future
BODY:

EXTENDED BODY:
An international scientific conference in Washington DC this week has been considering the ethical and scientific issues surrounding human gene editing technology. CRISPR-Cas9 seems to be the most popular method for adding and deleting specific genes. It can precisely target parts of our genome, either cutting or pasting DNA at very specific locations.
One of the arguments for the use of gene editing is that it gives us a powerful tool to delete the particular genes that cause diseases affecting millions of people all over the world. So gene editing could be used to edit the DNA of an embryo to stop it inheriting a disease like Huntington's.
But there are fears the same technique could be used to change a person's genes to make them taller or smarter. As you can imagine gene editing is becoming a pretty controversial topic.
Simon Morton talks with Sara Reardon – a reporter for Nature magazine who's been attending the international summit on human gene editing.

Kiwi kills robins
A Little Spotted Kiwi has been filmed destroying a North Island Robin's nest and killing two young chicks. It's the first time that this endangered, flightless bird has been seen showing this level of aggression towards another species.
Dr Rachael Shaw, a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Biological Sciences at Victoria University, made the gruesome discovery when she reviewed video footage.
"I discovered that the nest had actually been torn out from its location and that the chicks were dead on the ground and that they had these peck wounds...I got the biggest surprise because I was expecting to see a morepork or perhaps a kaka which can be pretty destructive when they forage having caused this...This is the first time that there's been any record that I could find of a kiwi interacting with another species in this way, and destroying a nest like this." –Dr Rachael Shaw

One man who has been watching kiwi in the wild for over 25 years is bird expert Hugh Robertson. Mr Roberston works for the Department of Conservation and is one of the authors of 'The Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand'.
He said that kiwi are very territorial birds that will fight with, and sometimes even kill, other kiwi encroaching on their turf. He thinks the likeliest explanation for this incident is that it's a case of mistaken identity, and doesn't think we need to reassess the reputation of our national bird.
"I think their reputation as the killed kiwi is probably still the real reputation. They are getting killed in their thousands by stoats and dogs and ferrets every year. And so one kiwi mistakenly killing some robins shouldn't label kiwi as the killers, but the killed." – Hugh Robertson

Loneliness can kill you; scientists in California have worked out that people who feel isolated experience specific changes to their immune systems. It goes some way to explaining why you're twice as likely to die from loneliness as you are from obesity. Also a new study reveals some reasons behind the slump in migrating bird numbers over the past 30 years, and clear evidence of why and how being overweight tends to run in families.
