Science-Based Medicine is a website with articles covering issues in science and medicine,[2][3] especially dangerous medical scams and practices. Science-Based Medicine is a blog about medical controversies and alternative medicine.[4]

Editorial staff

The Science-Based Medicine editorial staff describes themselves as "being alarmed at the manner in which unscientific and pseudoscientific health care ideas have increasingly infiltrated academic medicine and medicine at large"; they state that the best medicine is based on scientific principles, which includes prior plausibility, not based on evidence alone.[5]

Steven Novella, a clinical neurologist at Yale University,[6] founded the website and serves as its executive editor.[7][6] David Gorski, a surgical oncologist at Wayne State University, serves as the managing editor.[8][9][10]
