Quickly looking at her CSAIL page, I note 2 things about her glyphosate research:
(1) Her talks generally are not at scientific conferences.
(2) Her published articles are in "predatory open access journals". Since she is not stupid, I assume she is publishing this work there because she cannot publish in more respected journals.
The WHO is respected, it is relying on well-performed studies. If they say glyphosate is probably carcinogenic, I'll pay attention. Seneff is publishing in Omics and MDPI journals, which are viewed as publication mills by the community. It appears the community has examined her claims and rejected her from being publishing them anywhere respectable.
- TaylorAlexander 12y agoGood points, thanks for the rational assessment. I still can't tell if her claims don't hold water (specifically, that glyphosate materially harms gut microbes), but your observations do show she has been shunned by the scientific establishment. I'm no conspiracy theorist there, so that does lend credibility to the idea that she's making an error somewhere. I would love to see a specific debunking of her claims that didn't cop out and say "glyphosate has already been proven safe, DUH" or attack her personally. But your observations are good food for thought, thanks.
