Newbie Ubuntu user here. Currently I have the 16.04LTS (I don't know if mine is 16.04.1 but I downloaded and installed this version of mine the day 16.04LTS officialy released last April 2016). Should I upgrade to 16.04.2? If so, how? I mean, do I have to download the 16.04.2 installer or is there a update command?
Your Ubuntu will be automatically updated to 16.04.2 when the next package update kicks in. You probably had some updates around Tuesday which upgraded you to status "16.04.2" (run "lsb_release -a" in a terminal to verify). Yesterday it was only the ISO images that were released.
The important issue with 16.04.2 is that you can now decide easily upgrade the Linux kernel from the original 4.4 version, to the new 4.8 version. This 4.8 Linux kernel version was released in Ubuntu 16.10 (Oct 2016) and it has been promoted to the new kernel for 16.04.2.
If you can ssh into your machine, it will tell you in the initial welcome message. I've been running it on my server since soon after release (I've only ever updated), and I've just now logged into it:
Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-62-generic x86_64)
The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) released a report evaluating the link between the consumption of red and processed meat and cancer in 2015.
Here is a good overview of the report from the NHS which also looks at how the report was covered by the UK press:
Because the quality of the evidence is now very good (as good as for smoking) the WHO information was widely misreported as "red meat as bad as smoking".
> A key statistic provided by the infographic is that if everyone stopped smoking, there would be 64,500 fewer cases of cancer a year in the UK, compared with 8,800 fewer cases if everyone stopped eating processed or red meat.
> If everyone stopped smoking, there would be 64,500 fewer cases of cancer a year in the UK, compared with 8,800 fewer cases if everyone stopped eating processed or red meat.
Even that statistic greatly overstates the risk of red meat as compared to smoking. Because it's not adjusted for the percentage of the population that smoke vs the percentage that eat processed or red meat.
In the UK, only 16.9% currently smoke[1] but I believe that the great majority eat meat[2]. (I'm surprised how few people smoke now -- I remember a time when most people smoked.)
The statistic makes it sound like you're 7 times more likely to die from smoking than from processed or red meat (64500/8800 = 7). But if my math is correct, the death ratio should be more like smoking being 39 times worse (64500/16.9%) / (8800/90%) = 39).
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the definition of processed red meat? I assume it lies somewhere between gnawing on a freshly slaughtered animal carcass and buying beef jerky form the corner store, but I'm not sure where, exactly.
"Methods of meat processing include salting, curing, fermentation, and smoking. Meat processing includes all the processes that change fresh meat with the exception of simple mechanical processes such as cutting, grinding or mixing."

Under what section in your resume do you put your side projects? Is it under Work Experience?
I have a section called "notable projects", which lists about 4 or 5 in detail (I don't believe that resume's need to be a single page). But generally - the cover letter is always more important anyway (and especially if you don't have an intro). I usually like to try and tie why I'm the right person for a role, to some specific work I've accomplished in XYZ side project.
