Have you ever wondered what makes science so fascinating yet sometimes hard to grasp? Lefteris Statharas, the brain behind the podcast 'Lefteris Asks Science', is on a mission to change that. In this episode of 'Podcaster Stories', hosted by Danny Brown, Lefteris dives into his journey from mechanical engineering to podcasting, aiming to make science less intimidating and more enjoyable for everyone.
Lefteris started his podcast with a simple yet ambitious goal: to bring scientists together and show the world how fun and relatable science can be. His natural curiosity and easy-going manner make him the perfect guide through the often complex world of scientific discovery. During their chat, Lefteris shares how a casual conversation with a peer sparked the idea for his podcast, and how his professional background fuels his curiosity. But it's not all smooth sailing.
Lefteris opens up about the challenges he faces in making science accessible, especially in an era where misinformation can spread like wildfire. He also touches on the cultural and scientific differences between Greece, where he's from, and Singapore, where he currently resides. These insights provide a unique perspective on how science is perceived and practiced in different parts of the world.
One of the standout moments in the episode is when Lefteris discusses why some countries, particularly the US, seem to have an anti-science stance, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He also talks about how social media can be both a boon and a bane for science communication, making it easier to share information but also harder to sift through what's accurate.

Lefteris Statharas brings a refreshing perspective that makes science not just understandable but genuinely fun.
