A student in the 1941 graduating class at the Bronx High School Of Science , Glauber attended undergraduate studies at Harvard University . After his freshman year he was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project , where he was devoted to calculating the Critical Mass of the bomb. A testament to his prodigious intellect, he was only 19 at the time. After working on the problem for two years, he then went on to obtaining his bachelor's degree and a PhD from Harvard University . He is also the 'Keeper of the Broom' at the Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies, sweeping the stage clean of the paper aeroplanes that are traditionally thrown during the event. He was unable to attend his duties at the Ig Nobels in 2005, since he was receiving his Nobel Prize at the time. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
