Jacob is a PhD candidate in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at UCLA. His research focuses on the history of psychoactive drugs in the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries. His work explores how many of the same issues around psychedelic medicine today played out during the era when anesthetics like nitrous oxide, which can cause psychedelic-type effects, were first introduced into medical practice. Jacob's work has been supported by the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, The Science History Institute and The Source Research Foundation.
