IFIC Science Communication Toolkit

Science communication is not only about translating scientific findings; it is also about using effective communication techniques to help people understand science and feel confident in making decisions about their food, nutrition, and health.

This content hub is built for communicators like you! Whether you are a registered dietitian, academic, scientist, or anyone communicating to consumers, we have assembled resources to improve understanding of scientific publications and become more effective in serving the public.

Sharing credible information successfully can make a big difference in public health trends, scientific understanding, and how information is passed on to others.

Comprehensive Guidance Document

This guidance document, Understanding & Interpreting Food & Health Scientific Studies: Guidance For Food & Nutrition Communicators, aims to improve understanding of scientific publications to enhance communicator effectiveness.
