Mathematician, computer scientist, and WWII code breaker Alan Turing, who established the theoretical foundation for just about every modern computing device, was born #OTD in 1912. His work helped make it possible for you to read this.

The British government prosecuted him for being gay, a monstrous act that eventually led to Turing’s death by suicide. Then they waited over 60 years before issuing a pardon.

A black and white photo of Alan Turing. He is looking at the camera and the top of his head is not visible in this closely cropped image. He has dark eyes and bold eyebrows. Turing's hair is very short, which accentuates his ears. He is wearing what appears to be a gray flannel jacket, with what might be a plaid shirt.
