  In 2018, the first genetically-modified children were born.Now we have the tools to reshape the future of our species. 
  With a pair of genetic scissors known as CRISPR, we can potentially select the traits of our children, or avoid ageing, or cure disease. But with that ability comes a new set of risks, forcing us to face hard ethical questions. 
  Torill Kornfeldt has travelled all over the world to meet the people driving this research forward. She has visited fertility clinics in South Korea, oncologists in China who are experimenting on sick patients, and biohackers in the US who want to make the new technology available to everyone. In The Unnatural Selection of Our Species, she asks: How are we supposed to handle these new tools that could end up changing our genetic material? 
  'Well written, knowledgeable, and engaging – exactly how really good popular science is supposed to be' Gustav Källstrand, Nobel Centre

At the same time, these growing tasks are coupled with staff shortages and waning organizational support. It's hardly a surprise that the rates of depression and suicide continue to increase among exhausted medical professionals. Burnout is not only harmful to overworked, unsupported healthcare professionals, it also puts patients at risk.

Are you tired of getting random friend requests from people you don’t know? If you have answered yes to any of these questions you have stopped off at the right place. 
  In this book you are going to learn how to handle the naysayers, critics and gossipers with grace. There is no need to get involved in screaming matches online, it’s a complete waste of time and energy plus it makes you look really bad. If there is one thing I’ve learned about life, it’s that you can’t please everyone, it’s an absolute mathematical impossibility so don’t even bother to try! There are going to be some people who just aren’t going to like you no matter what you do and the harder you try the more they hate you. The best advice that I can give is just be the best version of yourself, act with integrity at all times whether on or offline and let the critics talk if they want to.

  When you're racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one afternoon. 
  When the team left the next day, the dog followed. Try as they might, they couldn't lose him—and soon Mikael realized that he didn't want to. Crossing rivers, battling illness and injury, and struggling through some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the team and the dog walked together toward the finish line, where Mikael decided he would save the dog, now named Arthur, and bring him back to his family in Sweden, whatever it took. In compelling prose, Arthur provides a testament to the amazing bond between dogs and people.
