Kavin Senapathy (pronounced "Cah-ven"): add proper phonetics using IPAc-en template is an American freelance investigative journalist, [2] author, science communicator focusing on health, medicine, agriculture, food, parenting and their intersection. [3] [4]
Senapathy has written for Forbes, Medium, Self, Slate, Skeptical Inquirer, and contributed to SciShow on YouTube.
Senapathy was featured in the 2017 documentary Science Moms, and is a co-founder of the non-profit, educational organization, SciMoms. Since 2018, she has co-hosted the Point of Inquiry podcast. [5]
Senapathy was born in Washington, D.C. as the daughter of Indian immigrants. [1] Her father was a scientist, and she showed an early interest in science, but did not develop an interest in pseudoscience and skepticism in the domain of human health until she became a mother in 2011. [6]: 4:55 Senapathy studied English literature in college. [6]: ?
While dealing with the birth of her first child, Senapathy dealt with postpartum depression and OCD. She wanted to make sure her child would be healthy and safe, but was overwhelmed by contradictory information from well-meaning friends, family, books and especially the Internet on how to be a good parent. Senapathy found herself forced to separate fact from fiction on her own, and after some years decided to share her findings on evidence-based information and misinformation with other parents on the Grounded Parents blog. [7]
Senapathy's blogging evolved into her becoming a science writer and communicator; [6]: 4:55 she has contributed to a wide variety of magazines, including Forbes, Medium, [8] Self, [6]: 4:07 Slate, and Skeptical Inquirer. [9] [10] (Give a sample of her topics here.) She has also contributed to SciShow, a series of science-related videos on YouTube. [6]
Senapathy was featured in the 2017 documentary film Science Moms which concerns evidence-based parenting, [11] [3] According to Senapathy, the film's goal is to provide a counterpoint to wide-spread anti-science misinformation affecting parenting, including anti- GMO and anti- vaccine propaganda. [11] Senapathy said that for many moms, parenthood becomes a large part of their identity, and when that happens, "it is easy for purveyors of misinformation to exploit [them]." [12]
Following the release of Science Moms, Senapathy and the other featured women created a non-profit, educational organization named SciMoms, with the goal of continuing to promote evidence-based parenting and policy as presented in the film. [13] [14]
Senapathy has written, spoken, and participated in protests in favor of the regulated production and consumption of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In 2014, Senapathy co-founded March Against Myths about Modification (MAMyths), to counter the anti-GMO March Against Monsanto protests. She stated that the counter-protest was a " Monsanto-neutral march. We aren't pro- or anti-Monsanto at all. We're just trying to spark discussions about scientific myths, and to correct misinformation." [15]
In 2018, Senapathy wrote "Making Amends For Helping Take the 'Pro-GMO' Movement Too Far", where she... (Summarize the article.) [16] and in 2018 presented at QEDCon regarding the intersection of GMOs with social justice issues. [17] [18]
Senapathy was a speaker at CSICon, the annual conference of the CSI in 2016, [19] 2017, [20] and 2018. [21] Her presentation topics have included...[ citation needed]
In April 2018, Senapathy began writing for Skeptical Inquirer, the journal of CSI, in an online column named Woo Watch. [10] Since October 2018, Senapathy has co-hosted Point of Inquiry, the podcast of CSI's parent organization, the Center for Inquiry. [5]
In 2015, Senapathy was a finalist in the 7th Shorty Awards in the category Best in Science, alongside Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson. [22]
In April 2017, Senapathy was a speaker at the first March for Science in Madison, Wisconsin. [23]
Senapathy is a frequent critic of Vani Hari, who calls herself the "Food Babe". Together with Mark Aslip and Marc Draco (and a foreword by Kevin Folta), she co-authored the book Fear Babe: Shattering Vani Hari's Glass House (2015) to summarize their objections against the misconceptions and falsehoods they claim Hari is spreading, and how this endangers public health. [24] [9]
Senapathy and her family currently live in Madison, Wisconsin. [1] [4] She has two children. [1]
...that led to the Science Moms movie and later the SciMoms project.
