Science-Based Medicine

The editorial staff of Science-Based Medicine is composed of physicians who, alarmed at the manner in which unscientific and pseudoscientific health care ideas have increasingly infiltrated academic medicine and medicine at large, have decided to do their part to examine these claims in the light of science and skepticism. We at SBM believe that medicine based on science is the best medicine and tirelessly promote science-based medicine through discussion of the role of science and medicine, as well as the interface between science, medicine, and (unfortunately) pseudoscience.

SBM is a completely independent endeavor. We receive no industry funding and have no conflicts of interest. Our only goal is to promote high standards of science in medicine.

The core group, each of whom either contributes no less frequently than once every two weeks and/or contributes to the editorial duties of the blog, includes:

Management:

• Steven Novella, MD – Founder and Executive Editor
• David H. Gorski, MD, PhD – Managing Editor

Associate Editors:

• Joseph Albietz, MD
• Kimball C. Atwood IV, MD
• Mark A. Crislip, MD
• Harriet Hall, MD
• Val Jones, MD
• Peter A. Lipson, MD

Finally, note that we are always on the lookout for medical bloggers with an interest in the topics discussed on Science-Based Medicine and a track record in writing about them. Anyone interested in contributing to this blog should contact either Dr. Gorski or Dr. Novella.

Paul Ingraham assists our contributors with copy editing. He is a science journalist and the author of hundreds of articles and several books about rehabilitation science and common pain problems.
