Thin, stretchy skin -- like that of a pig or human -- significantly lessens the underlying damage that occurs when it's punctured. Pig skin even outperforms synthetic materials that are designed to mimic skin, a new study finds. Its special qualities, in particular its ability to dissipate the energy of a puncturing object, greatly reduce the damage to deeper tissues, researchers report.

We tend to think our actions follow from our beliefs — but cognitive dissonance means we often rewrite our beliefs to justify what we’ve already done, not the reverse

More than a decade ago, I left a finance job, moved to Vietnam, and eventually started writing for a living. For a long time I told this story as a series of decisions.
