About Me
I am Dr. Shayla Vradenburgh, a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, a Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), and Founder and CEO of Revolting Science Resources LLC. Like many graduate students, my academic journey was fraught with challenges, particularly the lack of clear direction and defined goals for my thesis project. After graduation, I recognized a significant gap in project management resources available to academic scientists. Understanding that academic research inherently involves project management principles, I saw the immense value these resources could bring to the scientific community. This realization led me to create Revolting Science Resources, aimed at bridging the gap between project management and academic research. My company is dedicated to providing tailored resources to empower scientists, ensuring they have the necessary tools and guidance to successfully navigate their professional journeys.
