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.
