The Galveston County Daily News, May 30, 2022
“The Daily News is proud to have named Dr. Pei-Yong Shi as its 35th annual Citizen of the Year,” wrote Michael Smith, editor. “Naming the one from among that group of worthy citizens always is a hard decision for the panel of judges who reviewed and ranked each of the 20 applications. Ultimately, however, no other nominee contributed more to the public good over the preceding year than Shi, whose study of, and contribution to our understanding of, COVID delivered global benefit.”
