Dr Jessica Danaher

Lecturer in Nutrition and Associate Dean, Student Experience

RMIT University

I am a nutrition scientist, dietitian, and Associate Dean of Student Experience in Science at RMIT University.

My work spans food waste reduction, gamified nutrition education, and innovative teaching design, including immersive and technology-enabled learning. I specialise in turning complex nutrition science into engaging, practical knowledge that people can actually use.

I am recognised for my leadership in science education and have received multiple awards for teaching excellence, including an Australian Award for University Teaching.

As a trusted media commentator, I regularly work with major Australian outlets to deliver clear, credible nutrition insights for the public.

My contributes extend to the Oceanic Nutrition Leadership Platform, where I work to strengthen leadership capability and sustainable food systems across the region.

I work to inspire others to use food and nutrition to create tangible, positive impact for people and the planet.

I invite you to partner with me on all things nutrition and science education related.

Dr Jessica Danaher is a Superstar of STEM.
