Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at the MIT Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. She received the 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 Master’s and PhD theses at MIT. In
2012, Dr. Seneff was elected Fellow of the International Speech and
Communication Association (ISCA).

Dr. Seneff’s recent interests (since 2007) have focused on the role of
toxic chemicals and micronutrient deficiencies in health and disease,
with a special emphasis on the pervasive herbicide, Roundup, and the
mineral, sulfur. Her investigations have led to a strong hypothesis that
glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is the primary factor in
the autism epidemic and in many other neurological, metabolic,
oncological and autoimmune diseases. Since 2008, she has authored over
four dozen peer-reviewed journal papers related to biochemistry and
toxicology, and has delivered numerous slide presentations around the
world. She is the author of a book on glyphosate, titled “Toxic Legacy:
How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the
Environment,” which was released by Chelsea Green publishers on July 1, 2021.

This book was selected by Kirkus Reviews as one of the best
non-fiction books of 2021.
