译文：
薇薇安·迈尔生前是芝加哥的一位保姆。五年前，薇薇安去世，享年83岁，没有子女，没有遗产。她同时也是一个收藏家，随身携带照相机拍照，因此她的几百个盒子中有超过15万张未冲洗的底片。这些照片构成了街拍和人物肖像照的大资料库。薇薇安·迈尔被逐渐公认为20世纪伟大的摄影师。电影制片人Charlie Siskel记录了她的故事。
薇薇安是一位保姆，大部分工作是照顾小孩，有时也做些家务，还有一段时间伺候老人。但这只是她在大家眼里的形象。其实她在私底下是一名有才气的艺术家。日复一日，年复一年，她拍摄出超过15万张极佳的照片。
就她的拍摄作品、她的兴趣点以及她所讲述的故事来说，哪一点最能打动你？
她对拍摄街头生活，特别是社会底层、社会边缘人们的生活有独到的技巧。我觉得薇薇安把自己当作一个局外人。她对于那些像她一样被遗忘和忽视的人有着天然的同情心。因为她就是个局外人，她在美国和主人家住在一起，却不是家庭的一份子。所以我认为她在有意把自己培养为暗中观察的人。她把自己定义为神秘女人，培养自己对人的洞察力。她做这件事的动机是很自然的，她很积极地参与世事，就像一个流动工作的记者，无论是在摄影方面，还是在采访录音方面。她的作品只有自己能看到，没有对外公开。她不像现在的我们，时刻都在分享。特别是摄影方面，她的作品都是给自己看的，相反，无论是吃饭的照片还是日落的照片我们都发在Facebook和Instagram上面。所以，当我开始拍摄这部电影时，我就认为这是一个保姆恰好有天分拍摄绝佳照片的故事。

60：好朋友之间基因相似吗？Do friends have similar genomes
15/07/2014
It appears that when it comes to choosing our friends， much of our choice depends on genes. We are more genetically similar to our friends than we are to strangers.
The theme tunes to Friends， a 90s American sitcom about a bunch of best mates. Two of the characters were related， but if they've been real life friends， the rest of them could have been as biologically close as cousins. Researchers from the University of California have analyzed gene variation in around 2000 people， comparing pairs of unrelated friends with pairs of unrelated strangers. They found that the friends had about 0.1%more DNA in common on average than strangers did. It's a small fraction that makes a big difference.
