the new optimists website
The New Optimists website was launched in the first week of July 2010.
In early 2009, I asked lots of scientists the simple question “What
are you optimistic about?” Over 80 responded, and what they’ve
said has been compiled into the book The New Optimists:
Scientists view tomorrow’s world & what it means to us.
And The New Optimists website is about what they’ve said, what other scientists are saying, who’s been involved in making it all happen . . . and, we hope, what lots of people think about it all. Please do join the conversation!
The scientists who feature in the book are leading medics, life scientists, engineers, chemists, computer and digital media scientists, environmental and energy experts, all of whom work in the West Midlands.
Jenny Uglow wrote the Foreword, beginning with the words “this is the most exhilarating of books” . . .
