Like clothing, you know, that covers your skin.Human leather has been used by anatomists, tannists and medical scholars over the ages to bequeath life to their work and writings. It had been lost in modern times as a working material, partly due to social and religious taboos.
John Timmer of Ars Technica weighs in on the Pepsigate stuff - maybe a little late, but Scienceblogs people like the attention so it's all good. Other large networks (us, Discover, NN) get a few words but this is basically a way for him to discuss it and then advertise the people who formed the new Scientopia blog.
