The final episode of this year's LibOwl Podcast, hosted by Dr. Crivellaro, is here and it's aptly titled: From Lab Coats to Leg Day: Dr. Kerkines on Lifting, Learning, and Legends.
It features a dynamic conversation with Dr. Ioannis Kerkines—scientist, ACS Athens educator, and weightlifting enthusiast. In this engaging episode, Dr. Kerkines shares his journey from chemistry research labs to international bodybuilding expos, highlighting his encounters with legends like Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler. The discussion blends personal anecdotes, scientific insight, and thoughtful commentary on how the discipline of bodybuilding intersects with mental health, public perception, and lifelong wellness.
More than just a conversation about physical strength, this episode offers a deep dive into the cultural and psychological aspects of fitness, reflecting how passions beyond the classroom enrich our community. As always, the LibOwl Podcast is made possible thanks to the creative work of our student producers, Pinelopi and Shaya (Class of 2025), and the support of the Media Studio team.
