Joshua Greenfield is a Junior member of the American Scientific Glassblowers Society, and is also a 4th year chemistry graduate student at the University of California, Davis. He began learning scientific glassblowing in 2011, shortly after receiving his B.A. in chemistry from Oberlin College, where he met Doug Navalinsky and subsequently spent nine months working with him at his shop in Bay Village, Ohio. Joshua still does some glassblowing in the course of his research, but he has also been able to leverage his experience as a chemist to give back to the glassblowing community, sharing insights on topics ranging from cleaning glassware to silvering dewar flasks.
