Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts institute of Technology (MIT). She has earned four degrees from MIT including bachelor of science in biophysics, masters, engineers and PhD in electrical engineering and computer science. For 4 decades she has worked at the intersection of human biology and computers. In decades of research at MIT, she has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific research studies. She has spent the last decade studying the harmful effects of the pesticide glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp, and she has published a book recently called Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment which discusses the groundbreaking science behind the harmful effects of glyphosate and its potential role in Autism, Parkinson’s, autoimmune disorders, Alzheimer’s as well as many other chronic diseases.
