Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNate Jacobs is a postdoctoral scholar and open science advocate with a decade of basic research experience and nine years of hands-on scientific practice, currently based at UCLA and living in Santa Monica. With a PhD in Neurobiology and Behavior from UC Irvine and a BS in Neuroscience from UCLA, he blends deep domain expertise with practical skills in data analysis (MATLAB, Python), front-end design (MATLAB, iOS), and graphic design (Adobe Creative Suite). Nate focuses on modernizing scientific workflows and quietly leads a small, rebellious movement building tools and practices that make collaboration and discovery more internet-native. He’s comfortable translating complex experimental problems into usable software and visuals, and he brings an unusual combination of bench-side intuition and product-minded design to open science development and advocacy.
