Glassy is the inventor of Pritumumab, the first human antibody used to treat a cancer patient. and is the recipient of the 2003 Arthur Furst Award.

That should be enough for one man to hang his hat on, but nope. Dr. Glassy has to go and have one of the world’s finest toy collections to boot.

Beginning his scavenging in 1956, he has over 85,000 individual items on display, the majority of them sci-fi in nature, but there’s some cool horror stuff in there as well.
