'Polymers & Possibilities'

Plunge into the fascinating world of plastics and polymers on the latest episode of the Tomorrow Makers podcast, featuring Kirk M. Cantor, professor of plastics technology, and Mason A. Beaver, a plastics & polymer engineering technology student from Selinsgrove.

Cantor, a two-time Excellence in Teaching award winner, reflects on his path from NASA to Penn College; and Beaver, a Wildcat soccer player who already earned an associate degree in his chosen field, gears up for a promising career.

The duo covers a lot of ground in less than an hour, from the differences between plastics and polymers to the major processes involved in making essential parts and products.
