The UCLA graduate Biochemistry Student Association (gBSA) recently hosted its very first Wine and Paint Night, and it was a great success! On Friday, Feb. 28, chemistry and biochemistry graduate students and postdoctoral researchers gathered in Boyer 159 to create stunning artwork, inspired by the iconic painter Bob Ross. After a tight competition, one team emerged as the winners, claiming the title of the best artists of the night—congratulations to the team! The gBSA would like to thank all the participants who made the evening so special, as well as the Graduate Student Association for providing the funding for this event!

The UCLA Graduate Biochemistry Student Association (gBSA) is a student-run organization whose goal is to “promote camaraderie between students, share knowledge, and offer opportunities to better prepare ourselves for future careers.” gBSA organizes social events, as well as multiple outreach and career development opportunities open to all graduate students throughout the year.
