In this episode of JOBTASTIC, we meet Kevin Teaford, a scientific glassblower at the University of Utah.

Kevin helps us answer: “WHO Makes Things Out of Glass?” Follow along as we enter a world where glass can snap and shatter without warning, and discover how art meets hard science:

• Why cutting-edge scientific research still needs one-of-a-kind glass tools made by hand.
• What special type of glass was invented specifically for chemistry and science labs.
• The secret to building complex structures that are sealed closed.
• Why they create realistic models of the human heart, stomach and brain out of glass.
