Caltech glassblower's retirement has scientists sighing
While unfortunate, Caltech had years to let the current glassblowr train a replacement - it's not like this was an unforeseeable event.While it's unfortunate that it's a struggle to find a replacement now - and from the outside I don't know what went on leading up to this - I can't help but think if they'd set the budget for it a decade ago, they wouldn't be in this situation.
