PHARMACISTS from across Australia are thanking their lucky stars this week with the broadcast of the latest instalments of Channel 9's Australian Ninja Warrior.
That's because one of the contestants is managing to single-handedly change public perceptions of pharmacy professionals as mild-mannered, white-coated medicine expert nerds.
Jordan Papandrea, 23, (pictured), whose occupation is described on the Ninja website as "pharmacy student and gymnast," is a rippling example of what we're sure most male pharmacists would look like if they took their shirts off.
In one of the semi-finals earlier this week Jordan managed to be the "furthest fastest" competitor, seeing him progress to the final where he will be in the running to win up to $300,000 by conquering Nijna Warrior's ultimate challenge, the imposing "Mount Midoriyama".
We, along with everyone else in the Australian pharmacy sector, salute you Jordan and wish you all the best in the upcoming Grand Final.
