Not necessarily famous but I have a lot of publications.
I've written my first textbook chapter which is a major textbook and will be a standard issue to many medical schools/students. Thus many physicians trained in the U.S. and throughout the world will read my words.
I've also published (as the senior/primary/first author) on several professional, peer-reviewed scientific journal articles. My latest article will be the first that is scheduled for a "press release", which means it'll be released to the Associated press (and other agencies) for mass publication. It will likely turn up in the "news" section here and on CNN.
I've also had lunch and spoken with plenty of leading scientists including a noble laureate.
So I'm not "famous" in the classical sense, but I'm well known throughout a limited circle of people.
