Info: Tom co-instructed the MSGS oil manometer workshop in 2025 at Millipore and has much more to share with the scientific glass community in the realm of neon and plasma for those who are interested in showing up on Friday afternoon. Tom has 45 years working in the neon and the scientific glass industry, so having an opportunity to visit with him in his shop and ask questions is a very special opportunity. 4pm tour of Tom Galbraith's personal neon shop!
