Basic Sciences researchers show their artistic talents at winter showcase

From beautiful original compositions to witty comedy, the Office of Biomedical Research Education and Training gave students, postdocs, staff, and faculty the opportunity to step into the spotlight during its fourth annual winter showcase on Dec. 15 at the Blair School of Music.

“These are brilliant students [and community members] with immense talent that they use to take care of themselves as a way to funnel stress and pressure,” said RC Stabile, associate director of trainee well-being at BRET. “It is beautiful.”

The performance featured 14 people comprising graduate students, postdocs, and faculty who took to the stage with their diverse, outside-the-lab talents. Two graduate students—biochemistry graduate student Yelena Perelova and Interdisciplinary Graduate Program student Louis Otero—hosted the showcase, introducing the artists and seamlessly guiding the audience from performance to performance.
