Robert Peter Gale has won an award in the opinion/op-ed category from the American Society of Journalists and Authors Inc. for his series “Chernobyl, the HBO miniseries: Fact and Fiction” (The Cancer Letter, May 17-June 21, 2019).
Gale is visiting professor of hematology at the Imperial College London, and executive director of clinical research in hematology and oncology at Celgene Corp.
“Gale’s series is fortified by his firsthand experience with one of mankind’s worst calamities,” the ASJA judges wrote. “He provides unsparing detail, outstanding insight, and intense perspective as he sorts fact from fiction as presented by HBO’s 2019 miniseries.”
