  • From pinecones to predators: wildfire tech and the misunderstood vulture
    Jul 18 2025

    This week on The Optimist Daily’s Weekly Round-up, Karissa and Arielle explore two unexpected environmental heroes: a pinecone-inspired wildfire sensor called Pyri, and the misunderstood but essential role of vultures in ecosystem health. Discover how design students in London are helping prevent devastating fires with biodegradable tech and how Bulgaria’s ambitious rewilding project is reviving Europe’s rarest vulture species. From the power of biomimicry to the hidden brilliance of “ugly” animals, this episode is a love letter to nature’s resilience and innovation.

  • Effective allyship in action + Belgian seniors hit the club in joyful resistance
    Jun 27 2025

    In this week’s episode of The Optimist Daily’s Weekly Round-up, Arielle and Karissa revisit Part II of our popular 2020 series on allyship—this time diving into what effective allyship really looks like in practice. If you missed Part I on performative allyship, you can read it here!

    They explore actionable ways to show up for marginalized communities with intention and consistency whether that means unlearning internal biases, financially supporting underrepresented creators, or stepping back to let others lead.

    Then, the conversation shifts to a solution that proves joy knows no age limit: Belgium’s Papy Booom nonprofit is helping seniors fight loneliness with unforgettable nightclub outings.
