How can dietitians effectively communicate ever-evolving nutrition science and guidelines while maintaining public trust? In this episode, food and nutrition scientist Dr. Emma Beckett unpacks the art of communication, emphasising the importance of ‘sticky stories’ to make complex scientific concepts relatable and easy to understand.
