Goda Raibytė is a restless science explorer, journalist and television 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, Raibytė has turned her gaze towards the infinite sky since early childhood and was encouraged to constantly question the world that surrounds us by trying to solve the secrets of the universe. Raibytė is privileged to collaborate with some of the world’s most notable scientists, and loves to share her knowledge with others in the hope of encouraging a profound interest in science.Curious Vera draws on research by and conversations with: Charles Elachi (a former NASA JPL Director), Steven Goldbarb (CERN), Egle Cekanaviciute (a neuroscientist for NASA AMES Research Center) and Pete Warden (a former director of NASA Ames Research Center and current Executive Director ofBreakthrough Starshot), Paolo Ferri (former head of European Space Agency mission Operations), Jill Tarter (Chair Emeritus for SETI Research Center), Jonas Zmuidzinas (ex chief technologist at NASA JPL, Director of Caltech Optical Observatories).
