About

We ask scientists “What are you optimistic about?” And they tell us.

So far, we’ve asked this question of some 100 scientists, and have published what they say in books, in video interviews and on this website.

We’ve also set up a New Optimists Forum where scientists from diverse disciplines give their informed perspective on the huge challenges facing humanity in the 21st century.

All these activities are part of a not-for-profit legal structure and founded by Kate Cooper.
