How do you make science matter in a world flooded with misinformation?๐ค
Mathilde Touvier has spent years studying food additives, ultra-processed foods, and public health. But one of her biggest lessons? Science isnโt enough if it doesnโt reach the public.
๐ Fake nutrition news spreads fast.
๐ฏ Public engagement needs creativity, like Lego workshops & social media videos.
โ๏ธ Policy change requires clear, non-judgmental communication.
Her work shaping the Nutri-Score and fighting misinformation shows that empowering people with knowledge is just as important as the research itself.
Mathilde Touvier from the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Inserm) was awarded the 2024 ERC Public Engagement with Research Award (PERA) โfor promoting innovative and far-reaching public engagement on food additives, improving global public health awareness and nutrition policies.โ
