Tuang's Scholarly Quest

After being an exemplary student at the University of Kalay and graduating with a perfect GPA of 4.0, Tuang [https://www.tuang.org/] scored the Chinese Government Scholarship, which helped him pursue a Doctorate in Plant Functional Genomics to study plant-microbe interactions.

He has racked up numerous awards and scholarships that speak volumes about his contributions to academia and social justice. His doctoral research has led the scientific community to understand how pathogen infections tend to react to temperature stress - an innovative experimental take on studying microbes.

But that is not all, Tuang has written over 100 articles and several books in his local language to address environmental issues and raise awareness about COVID-19. He became the first lecturer at Kalay University to have his work published in a reputable journal four times in a row.

Tuang served as a revolutionary lecturer at Kalay University until May 2021, when he was expelled from his position by the military junta due to his participation in the civil disobedience movement to support democracy. Despite no longer being affiliated with Kalay University, Tuang continues to engage in educational activities. He serves as a teaching fellow at the Burmese American Community Institute (BACI) and the Zomi Education Working Group (ZEWG), contributing to online education efforts to support students from Myanmar who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the political situation, which disrupted their formal education. Currently, the Lady Davis Fellowship Trust supports him as a postdoctoral researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

As a proud member of The New York Academy of Sciences [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tuangzakhai/], and Royal Society of Biology his work has been groundbreaking. Tuang is now one of the major researchers involved in the critical findings of Aopw1 proteins and their application to the real world.

Fight For a Pro-Democratic Society

However, there is more to Tuang than just lab work. He has been a vocal advocate for democracy in his hometown, Myanmar. Especially after the military coup that disrupted Myanmar's push for democracy, Tuang Za Khai worked hard to bring people together to raise awareness about the situation.

Tuang believes that every little bit of effort counts in the fight for freedom [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuang_Za_Khai]. Thus, he remains committed to making a difference, even in the face of threats and obstacles.

A pro-democracy activist, inspired by Tuang commented, "Tuang Za Khai plays a critical role in our movement. He has used his voice for good and mobilized people to take action so we can all have a democratic future for our country."

Conclusion

Tuang has worked exceptionally hard in his academic and social life. He has received awards and scholarships for his interest in botany and went on to contribute to ingenious research in his field. Similarly, to make matters just for all the citizens, he raised his voice for socio-political concerns as a pro-democracy activist.

Due to this, he has garnered the attention of the locals, who now praise him for his bravery. His followers have kept in the loop with Tuang's latest projects and achievements through his social media presence, including a Meta account Facebook profile [https://www.facebook.com/tuangzakhai].
