I am Elise Hutchinson, a cognitive linguist and researcher driven by a commitment to accuracy and evidence-based communication. My work focuses on how language shapes understanding, belief, and decision-making — and on ensuring people have access to clear, trustworthy information they can genuinely learn from. My research background spans linguistics across multiple fields, including political discourse and war rhetoric, gender representation, and narrative framing. Across these areas, I have examined how language can oversimplify complex realities, legitimise power structures, or distort evidence — and how more careful, transparent communication can support public understanding rather than confusion. In my current role as Head of Research at FoodFacts.org, I apply this expertise to the public health and nutrition space, leading efforts to counter misinformation through rigorous fact-checking and evidence-based analysis. I help build accessible resources, develop media-literacy tools, train volunteers, and collaborate with health professionals and educators to ensure nutrition science is communicated accurately, responsibly, and in context. I am bilingual in English and French, committed to equality and social justice, and motivated by the belief that expanding access to reliable information empowers people to make informed choices.…I am Elise Hutchinson, a cognitive linguist and researcher driven by a commitment to accuracy and evidence-based communication.
