7 stories to read this weekend

It has been an eclectic week and I had a chance to read a lot of cool stuff. This is a distillation of what I read — the very best, at least I think so.

• In conversation with Jane Goodall: Mosaic Science talks to her about her lifelong obsession with chimpanzee behavior and her remarkable career on the occasion of her 80th birthday.
• The new face of heroin: The bucolic Vermont is under the grip of heroin and it is a massive crisis that is destroying the state.
• Buck fever: The ugly side of trophy deer hunting, in a four-part series that is worth reading as it outlines how greed and humans are causing a bio-crisis. Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4
• Automated ethics: When is it ethical to hand our decisions over to machines? When does automation go too far, asks Tom Chatfield, weighing in on the most important topic of our times.
