Meet Dr Mamta Nagaraja.
Mamta Nagaraja is a STEM leader who previously served as NASA's Associate Chief Scientist for Exploration and Applied Research. She managed science programs for the International Space Station, Moon missions, and commercial space projects, with special focus on space biomedicine. Mamta also led NASA's science communication efforts, helping share space discoveries with the public.
In this episode we talked about:
- Mamta Nagaraja's 24-year NASA career as a scientist bridging human spaceflight and robotic exploration
- Her role supporting the NASA Space Apps Challenge as judge, spokesperson and advocate
- The global impact of the Space Apps hackathon, which attracted 93,000 participants working on over 10,000 projects
- How space exploration inspires innovation and problem-solving across international boundaries
I also had the chance to ask all my inner 10-year old question like: Do you think there is other life forms out there? How big is the universe? Is there multi universes?
Enjoy!!
