Steven Novella belongs to the medical record as a figure whose work changed what could be treated.
The record lists Steven Novella as American neurologist, skepticist.
Steven Novella was born at Danbury in 1964. His recorded nationality is United States. He trained at Georgetown University.
Modern medicine is specialised, expensive and evidence-governed, with genetics and imaging reshaping what can be diagnosed.
His posts were held at Yale University.
The recorded fields of work are neurologist, neurology and skepticism.
Medicine advances against a moving target, and its successes are counted in lives rather than papers.
Recognition followed: Robert B. Balles Prize in Critical Thinking (2010).
That the work was done from United States matters: hospitals, training and research funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide which questions can be asked.
Steven Novella is still working, and the assessment of the contribution is not yet complete.
