DESCRIPTION:Stars have inspired philosophers\, beckoned travellers and now
  help us navigate the Galaxy and grow our knowledge of the skies. They are
  the atoms of our Universe and drive many of its rattling events. They liv
 e eventful lives then fade away and die\, donating matter back to the Univ
 erse\, matter which may form new stars and planets one day. How do we stud
 y them? What do we know about these heavenly bodies and what mysteries do 
 they still hold? This is a story for the talk to unfold\, as well as my ca
 reer journey through it all.\nBio:\nGhina is a space scientist\, storytell
