Our study evaluating the impact of HPV in the Canadian CF population is out. As healthcare providers to those living with cf, we need to be mindful to address all aspects of their care. Certainly has changed my practice! @CFCanada @CF_Foundation

Researchers are much more likely than the general population to experience depression and anxiety. And recent studies suggest that scientists’ mental-health struggles are a direct result of a toxic research culture https://t.co/u8jGixSH1z
