The 25th of September is World Lung Day (WLD), a day dedicated to lung health advocacy and action, and an opportunity for us all to come together and promote improved lung health around the world. It is now more crucial than ever to look after our lungs. As a result, we are urging everyone to "care for your lungs" and keep them healthy. 

The theme of this year's WLD is "Care for Your Lungs." Regular physical activity, inhaling clean air, being immunized, and stopping smoking are all examples of ways to do this.

Respiratory infections wreak havoc on the global health system. We are therefore encouraged to help disseminate the message, with millions of individuals suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung cancer, and more so the millions of deaths reported.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center  #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
