On July 13, we’ll sit down with PBS NewsHour’s chief science correspondent, award-winning independent journalist and accomplished pilot Miles O’Brien to discuss aviation’s impact on climate change and its innovative solutions to help save the planet.

Will you be joining us? 

This one-hour Q&A will be moderated by Poynter’s Joie Chen, former anchor at Al Jazeera America and CNN and former Washington correspondent for CBS News. Together, we’ll ask O’Brien to share more than three decade’s worth of insight on: 

• The connection between the world of aviation and climate change
• The groundbreaking technology that will reduce the industry’s carbon footprint
• The revolutionary prototypes that will change air travel as we know it

Plus, we’ll preview scenes from O’Brien’s latest work as a producer and director of PBS’ most-watched science documentary series NOVA - “The Great Electric Airplane Race.”

If you’re interested in learning how a major industry is working to protect our planet, this important conversation is for you.
