Lefteris Statharas of Lefteris Asks Science

In episode 11 of Podcaster Stories, I sit down with Lefteris Statharas of the Lefteris Asks Science podcast.

Driven by both his passion for science, and his professional work as a mechanical engineer, Lefteris started his podcast as a way to bring scientists together to demystify their professions, and show how fun science can be.

With a natural curiosity and an easy-going manner, Lefteris has a simple goal – to see what drives people with passion, and to get more people interested in, and passionate about, science.

Topics up for discussion this week include:

how the idea for the podcast came about after a chat with a peerwhich type of science drives his curiositythe episodes that have stood outwhy there seems to be such an anti-science stance in some countries, with the US probably being the worst culprit, as evidenced by Covid-19how social media has enabled more interest in sciencethe cultural and scientific differences between Greece, where Lefteris originates from, and Singapore, where he currently lives and workswho his all time hero is, and why

Settle back for an engaging conversation around science, the rabbit holes of Reddit and the internet, and more.
