Last week Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologized to Alan Turing on behalf of all of England, calling Mr. Turing "a real war hero". Over half a century has passed since Alan Turing committed suicide instead of facing a prison sentence or continued estrogen injections; the two options for being gay in England at that time, but his revolutionary endeavors are still changing academic thought in computer science, chemistry, mathmatics, biology, and cryptoanalyics.
This week Science.Blog.Science will be dedicating a series of posts to the work of Alan Turing and the effect he has had on all science and humanity. As always, I really appreciate any relevant posted material or links to the subject.

Awesome, also will give Lauren and Aaron the headsup as they'll probably want to send some of their readers over here.
