Dr Emma Beckett loves food – food & nutrition science, food fashion and eating food. You can find her in the lab, classroom, media, buried in the latest scientific literature, or on social media. Emma regularly appears in print, online, on radio, television and social media. Her aim is to empower people to interpret food and nutrition information so that they can make informed choices about food without fear or judgment. She combines her deep and diverse education, with degrees (including a PhD) in biomedical science, food science, nutrition science, science management, and epidemiology, experience as a university academic, industry researcher, and research fellow, communication experience and her passion to provoke thought, change and action. She has won several research and communications awards, including being named as a NSW Young Tall Poppy in 2017. She collects food-themed dresses and earrings, and loves football, cats, and Agatha Christie.
