It was announced today that technology pioneer Alan Turing will be the face of the Bank of England's 50-pound note. A math whiz, Turing provided some of the earliest and sharpest research for computing, algorithmic programming, and artificial intelligence. He famously devised the Turing Test, which essentially said if you put a computer and a human in different rooms then asked them the same question and the answers would be indistinguishable from each other. Prior to his breakthrough test, Turing led the team at the secretive Bletchley Park compound that cracked the Nazi 'enigma code,' a pivotal point in World War II. Sadly, despite his contributions to the war effort and his radical developments in technology, Turing loved mostly as a pariah because he was gay. He plead guilty to indecency charges and was forced to undergo chemical castration. He committed suicide in 1954 at the age of 41. Turing's life and accomplishments have received renewed attention in recent years thanks to the Oscar-nominated film "The Imitation Game," starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Alan and Keira Knightley as his confidante, Joan. Turing has also been the subject of several other films, television series, theatrical performances, artwork, and music during the past 10 years. He led an incredible life and is truly a forefather of of modern technology.

I hope you’re all enjoying your #Saturday! I wore the overnight braids again today Today we explored the history in downtown Montgomery— The Rosa Parks museum, the bus stop where she made history, and the church that Martin Luther King Jr pastored. We also had some amazing cream popsicles We love history and exploring what’s around the corner! What’s one of your favorite historical attractions? ☺️

The tragedy of the fire severely damaging the Noter Dame Cathedral in Paris is sad and definitely a loss to history and culture, but to raise such funds to replace a building that will never have the same significance seems like another tragedy to me. Why not spend the time, energy, resources and funds on our natural habitat that is in dire need. Why not help clean up our oceans, protect our forests, help save and protect endangered species, the list goes on. I would much rather be able to show and teach my children about our planet and all the amazing ecosystems and diversity they have to offer than to see another beautiful church. To be able to travel to the vast grasslands to witness the great migration, to trek through the beauty of the Amazon jungle, swim with the fish amongst heathy coral reefs, to the south and witness a continent covered by an ice shelf, to the north to witness Polar bears hunting for seals, again my list is endless. I just wish that a response to our natural “cathedrals” going up in “smoke” would be as quick, heart felt and imminent. We only have one Earth we have many historic churches. #rebuildourplanet . . . #ourplanet #protectouroceans #protectourcoast #protectourforests #protectourwildlife #protectourplanet #timeisnow #ourecosystemsmatter #historymatters #naturematters #earth #protectourhome #physicalgeography #geography #earthmatters #weonlyhaveoneplanet #geographynerd #saveourplanet
