In this episode of Radio Safa, we sit down with Dr. Kevin Rice, a talented drummer based in Virginia who also serves as a professor of entomology at Virginia Tech.

Kevin shares his unique journey of balancing two worlds — science and music — and how drumming, even as a passion pursued in his spare time, has had a powerful impact on his academic career, mindset, and daily life.

We explore how music can influence focus, creativity, and personal well-being, and how creative expression can complement even the most technical and demanding professions.

This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on the role of the arts beyond performance — as a tool for growth, balance, and connection.
