Description
Aye Thant is a researcher in the Department of Neurology. She shared a story of healing and hope.
Excerpt:
"It was a beautiful ordinary spring morning on February 1, 2021—the birds were singing, the sun was shining, and people were going on with their lives. Yet, beneath the calm lay chaos: internet and cellular connections were cut off with eerie silence in the air, and the junta had overthrown Burma’s democratically elected government, citing alleged voter fraud.... However, the first protest erupted right before our medical school, led by an activist physician who called for resistance. This spark ignited the nationwide Spring Revolution, and the junta quickly issued an arrest warrant for that doctor."
