Description: My podcast guest, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at MIT, has devoted twelve years to trying to understand the role of toxic chemicals in the deterioration of human health. She has devoted efforts to understanding what has been skyrocketing autism rates in the US and around the world. When COVID-19 pandemic began she considered whether glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) might play a role.
Join us for an engaging look at her research and how pesticide use is playing a role in our health.
About My Guest: Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She received a B.S. degree in Biophysics in 1968, the M.S. and E.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1980, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1985, all from MIT. For over three decades, her research interests have always been at the intersection of biology and computation: developing a computational model for the human auditory system, understanding human language so as to develop algorithms and systems for human-computer interactions, as well as applying natural language processing (NLP) techniques to gene predictions. She has published over 170 refereed articles on these subjects and has been invited to give keynote speeches at several international conferences. She has also supervised numerous Masters and Ph.D. thesis at MIT. In 2012, Dr. Seneff was elected Fellow of the 
International Speech and Communication Association (ISCA).
In recent years, Dr. Seneff has focused her research interests back towards biology. She is concentrating mainly on the relationship between nutrition and health. Since 2011, she has published over two dozen papers in various medical and health-related journals on topics such as modern-day diseases (e.g., Alzheimer, autism, cardiovascular diseases), analysis and search of databases of drug side effects using NLP techniques, and the impact of nutritional deficiencies and environmental toxins on human health.

This podcast should be widely broadcast – as widely as the market for Round-Up is. I truly believe anyone who has ever bought this product and thought it was “harmless” needs to learn just how harmful and dangerous it is.
Well done!
Thank you, Cyndi, for your comments. We have good science to back up harmful claims. Why we are slow to embrace it and make positive changes is beyond me. Europe is way ahead of us here.
Extremely informative material! We place warnings on coffee cups indicating that the contents are hot. Let’s support research related to the toxicity of chemicals. And perhaps identifying the individuals that are profiting from these chemicals. Everyone knows coffee is hot – everyone needs to be aware of the physical and environmental consequences of chemical additives.
Great comments Ann Marie. Thank you. Hopefully this research will help wake us up. Judith
Very thought provoking presentation. We are killing ourselves with the use of this product! Hope more people can truly understand the dangers it presents. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for listening in to Dr. Steneff. She’s very respected in her field. I keep hoping we’ll act smarter but…
