Nora Veldin
Nora Veldin is a health science writer with academic training in biomedical science and public health. After completing a BSc in Biomedical Science, she undertook an MPH focused on epidemiology, population health and the interpretation of health evidence. Her early work centred on research communication for community and preventive-health programmes before she moved into independent science writing.
At Cabdirect, Nora covers public health, epidemiology, disease prevention, health screening and the interpretation of medical research for general readers. Her work focuses on translating study findings into clear, cautious explanations while keeping non-clinical health writing distinct from personal medical advice.
Health-related articles follow Cabdirect’s editorial checking process. They carry a named author, are read by a qualified medical reviewer before publication, and the supporting evidence is re-checked every six months. Corrections are dated and remain visible when changes are made.
