You Are More Than What You Eat

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. Dr Beckett 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. Dr Beckett has spent more than 15 years studying food and how it interacts with our bodies. In her fun and informative book You Are More Than What You Eat, she takes her extensive research qualifications and experience and applies them to our everyday lives in her sassy and straightforward style.
