Duke George Brady is an American/Canadian Media Specialist and Biologist currently working across Texas, California and Alaska.
Duke attended college in the Pacific Northwest with an interest in combining his passions of art and nature. In his first year his professor received a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship, and recruited Duke to perform science-themed music for a Keynote presentation in Panama City, Panama. This and subsequent performances went on to be included in TED talks, noted in the New York Times, and included in published works regarding the intersectionality of Science and Art.
After earning his Bachelor of Communications in the study of documentary film and visual arts, Duke earned a second degree in Environmental Science, focusing on graduate level studies in ecology. During his last semester, he was one of four students chosen to work under a National Geographic grant researching entomology in Chiapas, Mexico, and produce photographic field identification guides.
Duke’s interests and experiences led him to participate in multiple Emmy—awarded and nominated productions, and has incorporated his science background into projects for television, print, and various industries in aerospace and exploration.
Focusing on strategic and science communications, Duke has recently been applying his background in media on projects for NASA, Axiom Space, Felix and Paul VR Studios, Discovery Channel, and others.
Currently based in Texas, Duke occasionally gets to escape the second biggest state and guide expeditions as a science interpreter, from South America to the Sub Arctic.
