Happy 109th Birthday, Alan 🌈 Today the @bankofengland issues the new £50 note featuring WWII codebreaker and father of computer science Alan Turing. Here he is being honored in Sackville Gardens, Manchester today (photo by @HalehMoravej) #AlanTuring
On this day, I always think of @SBarryCooper who did so much for #AlanTuring Centenary. One of the most intelligent, kind & supportive people I’ve ever known. I wouldn’t work with @bletchleypark now, without him. Still missed all the time.
Here is the new £50 banknote honoring WWII codebreaker and father of computer science Alan Turing! The @bankofengland note enters circulation on June 23, 2021, which is Turing’s birthday. #AlanTuring#BankofEngland
Not only is the design of the new £50 note a victory for our late colleague Barry Cooper (chair of @AlanTuringYear), but our current colleague Paul Shafer working with @LondMathSoc played a role in its design! Read more about the maths on the note here:

Turing’s impact on society and modern computing is vast and the treatment of him so abhorrent. I hope with this that more people will realise our debt to him. Well done to all those that campaigned for this @AlanTuringYear https://t.co/Qjqg5eIHFa
