About

I’m Melanie Nelson, a project manager and data geek with a PhD in bioscience and a long-standing interest in productivity. I’m currently a project manager at a scientific software company. Before that, I was an independent contractor and consultant, and before that I was a group leader in scientific informatics at a midsize biotechnology company. I’ve also been a contractor at a large contracting/consulting firm, a scientist, a database architect, and a department head at a small biotechnology company.

This is a site about management, productivity, science, software… and the intersection of all those things. For a while, I wrote column for Chronicle Vitae. You can find those articles via my Vitae profile.

I have a lot of other interests that I don’t write about (much) here:

    I have been following your writing for years. I too am a data geek (first and foremost) and a project manager in higher education. I am very excited about this brave new venture and will be rooting for you all the way from NYC.
