Charles R. Pellegrino (born May 5, 1953)[1] is an American writer and the author of several books related to science and archaeology including Her Name, Titanic (1988); Ghosts of the Titanic (2000); and To Hell and Back: The Last Train from Hiroshima (2015).
Biography
Pellegrino was born on May 5, 1953 to John and Jane Pellegrino.[2] He grew up in Queens, then at age 9 the family moved to Rockville Centre in Nassau County. At 15, Pellegrino was diagnosed with cancer and a rare genetic disease, Ankylosing spondylitis.[3]
During the mid-1970s, Pellegrino earned bachelor's and master's degrees at Long Island University. Pellegrino claimed to have received a PhD in 1982 from Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. The university investigated and concluded that it had never awarded him a PhD.[4][5][6]
Career
Pellegrino was the first person to figure out how, using MRI technology, one could see inside of 70 million year old dinosaur eggs without cracking them.[7] Michael Crichton credits Pellegrino’s work and research as a paleontologist as part of the inspiration for Jurassic Park.[8]
He was the recipient of the Isaac Asimov Memorial Award for Science Writing from The New York Science Fiction Society in 2000.[9] Pellegrino was a technical advisor to director James Cameron on the films Titanic and Avatar.[10][11]
