Sensible Medicine is a shared site featuring the voices of leading physicians, scientists, and thinkers.
The goal of Sensible Medicine is to showcase a range of ideas and opinions about all things bio-medicine. We feature contrasting ideas and opinions. The editors themselves will disagree with each other in posts. Once upon a time, that was how progress occurred, through dialogue. We work to nurture a home for this type of engagement.
The rules of Sensible Medicine are simple. If an article is signed -- The Editors -- the the editorial board take ownership of it. If an article is signed by an individual, then they alone take ownership of it. Please be open to ideas, interact productively and with respect in the comment sections, and avoid ad-hominem attacks. If there is an article that moves you to respond, please, by all means, do!
Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update or podcast. Paid subscribers get access to every article and the ability to comment an every article.
Submit ideas and articles to any of the editors by personal email or to sensiblemedicine2022@gmail.com. As brevity is next to godliness, please keep all submissions under 1200 words. Consider the word limit is a limit, not a goal.
Wait, one more thing. We have Merch. Well, actually just t-shirts. You can see VP modeling one in this video. The link to the shop is here.
