.@PattyBurks65 (@CF_Foundation): Someone said earlier, '[Having a #RareDisease] sucks. Absolutely. But #ClinicalResearch advancements for #CysticFibrosis moved forward because of patient participation. You are awesome and there is nothing you cannot do." #LivingRareForum

👩‍🔬As scientists sometimes we focus too much on publishing & every now and then we need to be reminded of why we do what we do. For those who need a reminder, today is Undiagnosed Children's Day.More than 65000 children are born in Europe each year with an Undiagnosed condition.
