Dr. Glen Cook of Corning will deliver the 18th annual Page Hazlegrove Lecture in Glass Art on Thursday, November 5, at 7:00 PM in room 6-120 at MIT.
After 16 years of distinguished work as a senior research scientist at Corning, Inc., Dr. Cook is now chief scientist at the Corning Museum, and as such is responsible for researching and sharing scientific and technical topics in glass. Among his new duties is that of technical advisor to the new Specialty Glass Artist-in-Residence program, jointly managed by Corning Incorporated and The Corning Museum of Glass.
Dr. Cook’s lecture, “Synthesis & Concord: Glass Bridges between Art and Science”, will address his life in science and art and his vision of how the two fields are mutually reinforcing.
