Miles on PBS NewsHour tonight, on moving forward after an accident led to amputation

My partner Miles O'Brien will be appearing on tonight's PBS NewsHour to talk about the accident that led to the loss of his left arm, while on a reporting trip in the Philippines. Miles is the science correspondent for NewsHour, and had just completed a reporting trip in Japan to cover the Fukushima nuclear crisis. His arm was amputated on February 14.

Next Wednesday, I will be on a separate panel discussing 25 years of the World Wide Web and the Internet. Clinical psychologist Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnectfeatured this week on Boing Boing— is among the guests.

Please tune in on your local station or online.
