Aaron Scott

Aaron Scott is a producer/reporter for the outdoor program “Oregon Field Guide,” where he pursues stories that illuminate cutting-edge science and the natural wonders of the world around us. Previously, he produced OPB’s radio arts show, “State of Wonder,” and his cross-platform reporting for OPB, NPR, “Radiolab,” and “This American Life,” has won Gracie, Murrow, SPJ, and Mark Twain awards. 

Before joining OPB, Aaron was a senior editor at “Portland Monthly,” where he orchestrated the magazine’s arts coverage and wrote narrative features. He has master’s degrees in journalism and science writing from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism and a bachelor’s in religious studies from Grinnell College. He split his childhood between the mountains of Colorado and the valleys of Oregon and, prior to journalism, spent a number of polyphonic years directing publicity for the band Pink Martini.
