Reading and writing skills are crucial to one's development, but those who are blind or visually impaired have some challenges with these skills. World Braille Day aims to narrow the communication gap between people with normal sight and those who are blind or partially sighted by raising awareness of the importance of Braille as a communication tool. We want everyone to be aware of how Braille helps people who are blind or visually impaired fully realise their human rights. We also acknowledge the contributions made by French educator Louis Braille to the development of the Braille system.

With the use of raised dots that can be interpreted with the fingers, Braille provides a tactile representation of alphabetic and numeric symbols. Millions of blind or visually impaired persons now can read and write, considerably enhancing their independence and capacity to engage in society.

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
