Dr. Sabine Seymour
Dr. Sabine Seymour is a synthesist with intellectual curiosity and assemble eclectic teams of scientists, artists, technologists, and economists to use technology to empower financial, social, and environmental regeneration and create creative experiences rooted in data science. She is the original Regenerative Punk. Re. punk is her brainchild.
I love freedom, I love tech, and I love a vibrant arts scene – anything cool and aesthetically appealing. But my biggest love is sports. I am an athlete first. But one day I woke up, and I could not walk down the stairs. I’d lost my balance and soon after my entire right side of my body was paralyzed. Two days later, I was unable to walk, and I ended up in a wheelchair. The diagnosis was remitting MS (Multiple Sclerosis).
I regenerated from being in a wheelchair 20 years ago to surfing and skiing big mountains. Re. punk is based on my personal 20-year real world evidence study living with MS. When I was diagnosed with MS, I was asked by my neurologist to speak at help groups because of my positive attitude, rigor, and success regenerating. Today, after 20 years with MS and an age where I do give a damn, I combine my expertise in technology and science, my experience with MS, my never expiring entrepreneurial spirit, my love for outdoor sports and creativity to create a movement as an expert patient.
I want to debunk the notion that having an autoimmune condition ends your life.
The collective
There are many amazing women and men who are joining the Re. punk movement. It is comprised of scientists, designers, athletes, artists, strategists, technologists, chefs, and medical doctors who advise on their respective field. Many of the volunteers have experience with an autoimmune disease, either as a patient of as an observer:
Daniel Goddemeyer, Kevin Walker, PhD, Emily Ávila, Arianna Basuvo, Annete Lundebye, Rani Shaleigh, Dr. Hanna Schneider, Susana Igreja.
