Jacob Heiss recently graduated with his PhD in biomedical engineering from The University of Akron. He started doing comedy three years ago when he first took an improv class at Imposters Theater in Cleveland and continues to do improv with his group Stage Against the Machine.
We talked about discoveries in both improv and cancer research and his joy in producing comedy shows. He is also looking for a job in cancer research if anyone is hiring.
He also produces multiple comedy shows including the Panel Show Show and Good Point! A Power Point Party at Imposters Theater in Cleveland.
