OIST graduation ceremony for Ph.D. graduates took place on 20th May 2022!
While I was very unsure if I could attend till about one week before the ceremony because of issues related to border restrictions for COVID-19 etc, I made it safely. Also my Ph.D. supervisor, Prof. Evan P. Economo, was able to come back from the U.S. for this occasion.
When lined up to enter the auditorium and waiting, the sense of cerebration finally occurred to me. I really appreciate OIST for all the assistance to bring us back in the middle of pandemic. The rest of my words and thanks were expressed through my speech as the valedictorian! (The whole ceremony can be found here https://youtu.be/fVUkPlrlLxk )
