This webinar is hosted in partnership with Nutritionists in Industry (NII).

In a world of pseudoscience, where “fake news” is a daily global issue, it’s never been more important that the truth behind headlines are shared with the general public. All too many times in nutrition we see the nuances in scientific studies lost in favour of a catchy headline. Here, Emily explains the importance of science communication in nutrition research, how to simplify the science without losing integrity and outlines the need for combining the worlds of academia and industry to bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and it’s practical applications – as a way to create the change we all want to see for a happier and healthier population and planet.
