Description: Nutrition research is becoming increasingly difficult for the general public to navigate. Healthcare professionals are ideally positioned to translate scientific publications and inspire consumer trust through credible science communication. With the guidance of our expert speakers, this webinar aims to arm healthcare professionals with the right tools to critically review scientific publications and to accurately present research to the public in the proper context. Participants will then be guided through real-world examples of how research has been translated into media headlines; credible and not, and the impact misinformation can have on the public. This webinar will feature guidance from a recent report from the International Food Information Council, highlighting methods for interpreting food and health science. As part of this session, you may use the How to Communicate Nutrition Science Effectively handout to understand, interpret and translate nutrition science for communications with the general public.
