The 10th anniversary of the IDG is today with the focus on securing the rights and future of the girl child. Investing in girls' rights is still insufficient, and girls continue to face a wide range of obstacles to reaching their full potential. This is true even though policymakers and the general public are paying more attention to issues that affect girls than in the past and there are more opportunities for girls to speak out globally.

The purpose of this day is to recognise the value, strength, and potential of young women by promoting the creation of greater opportunities for them. The goal of this day is to reduce gender-based problems that young girls encounter worldwide, such as underage marriages, inadequate educational opportunities, violence, and injustice amongst others. As a result, the cycle of discrimination and violence will be broken. Young girls will be encouraged to participate in decisions that have an impact on their lives and empowered to be independent women in the future.

Every girl has the right to life, education, and sound health. By raising awareness of this day, we hope to accomplish these.

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

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 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
