The Checkout nominated for Science award

Better news for The Checkout after being nominated for an Australian Government Eureka Prize.

3chktYesterday ABC1’s The Checkout was in the news for the wrong reasons, but it also had better news after being nominated for an Australian Government Eureka Prize.

The Australian Museum Eureka Prizes reward excellence in the fields of Research & Innovation, Leadership & Commercialisation, School Science and Science Communication & Journalism. The Checkout has been nominated in the Science Journalism category for its Superfoods segment.

Superfoods segment reports on the reality beyond the hype about so-called superfoods and their most common source of magical powers, antioxidants. Superfoods shows the importance of closely checking the ‘scientific studies’ used to support marketers’ claims of health benefits.

The Australian Museum will host its annual Eureka Prize Awards Night on September 4th.
