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.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4. In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor like Prodigy finance and Mpower Depending on when you ar...

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
