If only upvotable series was not Hive account@jerrybanfield 's , the first author I would love to feature would definitely be Hive account@jerrybanfield for his simple method of making complex things understand,that help us not look dumb in the world of cryptocurrencies... at least me. Thank you sir!!
Another influential author as per me is Hive account@suesa for her extraordinary quality to consistently present science articles combining with fiction, making science more fun to understand and exciting.
Some works of her include series like - Understanding Research, Science explains and among all, the famous and amazing Suesa's Science challenge.
