Alan Turing Dinner at Science Museum
After hours - but no sleepover
15 October 2012

Poster for Alan Turing exhibition

Part of the Pilot ACE computer, designed by Turing

Fragment of a downed Comet where, if memory serves, Turing's computer was used for forensics

A novel interpretation of flower bulbs at dinner table

A fascinating evening focusing on the life and work of Alan Turing, hosted by the Science Museum, featuring a guided tour through the empty building with Museum Director Ian Blatchford and some of his team. Then a dinner, where Gaia, Hania and Jake Lushington (whose Bletchley Circle series screened recently) were also invited. Reminded me of how much I love both the leading edge and the history of science and technology. Interested to hear that the Museum does sleepovers for young people interested in science and technology: wonderful idea.
