Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, who
turned her attention to an infamous neurodevelopmental epidemic
when a friend’s child was suddenly diagnosed with the condition.
Using her technical knowledge of natural language processing
systems, Seneff set out to untangle the biological literature to
see if it was possible to identify an environmental contaminant
that could be responsible for the exploding numbers of diagnoses.
To her surprise, there was a robust correlation with widespread
use of glyphosate, an herbicide that is the main ingredient of
the Monsanto product Round-up. We talk about her path to
uncovering the correlation, a potential biochemical mechanism for
how it could be involved in so many disorders, and the
controversy that has swirled after she went public with her
findings. Check out her book and support the podcast at the same

https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD
studying bioelectricity at Columbia University. When not talking
to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time
painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Shilo also
did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of
molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring
sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various
universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS:
