UCLA Art Student and Alumni Opportunities

Join the Undergraduate Bioethics Journal at UCLA: Shape the Future of Ethical Science!

Are you passionate about the ethical implications of scientific research and medical advancements? Staff applications for the Undergraduate Bioethics Journal (UBJ) are now open! UBJ is an undergraduate journal exploring the intersection of ethics, biology, society, public health, and public policy. The Journal is staffed by undergraduate students at UCLA that publish the Journal annually during the spring quarter. We accept a wide selection of high quality works that fall under the intersectional field of bioethics—original essays, opinion pieces, editorials, book reviews, visual investigations and art. All undergraduate students wishing to participate in this open discussion are encouraged to submit their work. To be considered for inclusion in the Journal, please share your writing or high-resolution image of your work of art via email (uclabioethicsjournal@gmail.com).  

Board Member Apps are due by Friday, March 15th at 11:59 PM PDT! It’s a low commitment of one hour a week and it’s going to be fun! If you’re interested, please apply here: https://forms.gle/XvVCeRxDHEkKmkhC8

Artist and technologist Erik Loyer shares his practice of digital instrument-making, and the ways in which he draws from comics, games, music, and film to make art, tell stories, and build creative tools. Loyer will explore how approaching each interaction as an invitation extended by the user — whether on the web, mobile, or in virtual reality — can help to shake up how we think about digital storytelling.
