On this day, we honour victims of drug overdose who have lost their lives as well as those who have overcome their addictions with the support of loved ones, pay tribute to the departed's family and friends, and reaffirm our goal to put an end to overdose and its consequences. It is indeed time to take action, which includes educating people about the dangers of drug overdose, sharing valuable understanding about the variety of assistance programmes available to those struggling with drug addiction, and emphasising to those currently in recovery how much they are appreciated. 

The time has come to show up and unite in opposition against overdose tragedies in the future. 

You can wear a purple ribbon to show solidarity for Overdose Awareness Day.

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
