About the Author: Goda Raibyte is a restless science explorer, journalist, TV host, although sometimes, she prefers to be go by Space Commander-in-Chief, Director of the Cosmos, or simply a "sciencer" (a word she invented herself). Inspired by the stories her grandfather used to tell, Raibyte has raised her gaze towards the infinite sky since early childhood. She is encouraged to constantly question the world that surrounds us by trying to solve the secrets of the universe. Raibyte associates and collaborates with the world's most notable scientists, and she loves to share her knowledge with others with the hope of encouraging a profound interest in science.
