Leveraging five decades of excellence as a cultural anthropologist and biologist as well as in space science, Dr. Rappaport has earned distinction as the co-founder of The Human Sentience Project LLC. Since 2013, she has focused her efforts on conducting research in human cognitive evolution, neuroscience, ecotheology and lunar and space sciences. In her leadership role, she also plans, budgets and manages company projects.
Prior to founding The Human Sentience Project LLC, Dr. Rappaport served as the President of Policy Research Methods, Inc. from 1986 until 2006.
