Phoebe is a learner, educator, change-maker, explorer and futurist.

Trained as a scientist in Neuroscience, DNA and synthetic biology, she started life on an interesting footing. Science gives a lens through which to view the world: one which detects patterns, interconnection, and seeks truth.

On exiting our society’s rigid education system, she sought out an upgrade in consciousness. A combination of solitude, intense physical training, and meditative practice made her realise she would be spending her life serving the world using her specific combination of gifts - and that others can do the same.

At first this was in the confines of the old system. Reprogramming life (by genetic engineering) to build living solutions to the world’s energy crisis and organising climate activism seemed like a good place to start. Communicating science and spreading wonder through workshops, exhibitions and articles have allowed her to inspire and excite others and develop into a full-blown wonder junkie.

However, what dawns on her is that we currently already have all of the technology, scientific knowledge, materials, and time to build an astonishing and abundant world capable of meeting all of our needs. In fact, the most valuable, untapped resource today is human ingenuity, creativity, or ‘magic'.

How do we unlock human magic? One place to start is the way we do education and build communities. Give people the tools to continue learning and exploring for the rest of their lives. Re-imagining what and how we learn is one crucial part of transitioning into a new era. Experimenting with content and learning techniques in Brainiac Club (www.brianaic.clun) 225 Academy (www.225academy.com) and bringing together co-ordinated action via Born Limitless (www.bornlimitless.org) are the ways she is currently doing this.
