Making Humans Bulletproof

http://io9.com/5830664/this-is-bullet+proof-spider-silk-skin-+-made-from-goats-milk-yes-really

A scientist is trying to make humans bulletproof. She genetically modified goats to give milk that had spidersilk protien, then she milks the goats and turns the milk into a spidersilk fiber mesh that she grows human skin cells on, making the skin incredibly strong - strong enough to be bulletproof!


There won't be many more updates here until Monday when I return from WorldCon, but I'll be posting notes from my panels when I can!
