Miles O'Brien
Miles O'Brien is a 26-year broadcast news veteran who has successfully melded a talent for telling complex stories in accessible terms with a lifelong passion for science, aviation, space and technology.
Based in New York City, he owns a production company that creates, produces and distributes original content across all media platforms.
For nearly 17 years he worked as a correspondent, anchor and producer for CNN based in Atlanta and New York. At various times he was CNN's science, space, aviation, technology and environment correspondent – and anchored such shows as Science and Technology Week, CNN Saturday and Sunday Morning, Talkback Live, Headline News Primetime, CNN Live From…and CNN American Morning.
Miles is excited to be working with the National Science Foundation and the "Science Nation" team.
"A lot of people worry about the lack of good quality science programming in the mainstream media," he said. "While I share their concern, I believe Science Nation is proof all that has really changed is the means of delivery. Science Nation insures that average people will not be shut off from the latest news from the leading edge. I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting project. I get to cover the beat that I find fascinating--with the best science producers in the business."
