We\u2019ll be back with another deep dive into Manchester\u2019s science and engineering research and legacy soon.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This episode of The Buzz is dedicated to one of The University of Manchester\u2019s most treasured heroes \u2013 Alan Turing.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll just take a big breath and then go ahead and list all of Turing\u2019s accolades: mathematics whizz, father of modern-day computing, forefather of artificial intelligence, creator of the Turing test, mathematical biologist, philanthropist, long-distance runner\u2026 oh, and he also played an instrumental role in bringing World War II to an end. There\u2019s a reason he\u2019s been chosen as the face on the new \u00a350 note!<\/p>\n<p>Turing spent the latter part of his life at The University of Manchester, switching disciplines several times. It was here he was able to indulge his passion for computers \u2013 and, of course, it was in Manchester where one of the earliest stored-program computers, the Manchester Mark 1 (better known as The Baby), was built.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Turing is a heritage hero for both our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maths.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Department of Mathematics<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Department of Computer Science<\/a> \u2013 and the home of our maths department is named in his honour.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Turing\u2019s greatest achievement was cracking the German wartime cipher machine, the Enigma. Working alongside a team of expert code breakers at Bletchley Park, Turing was tasked with deciphering a machine that was helping to give Germany the edge on the battlefield. The machine was designed to give over 150 million million million possible combinations for every message intercepted by the Allies, so breaking it was a near-impossible task \u2013 but the team did it.<\/p>\n<p>There are those who say that the cracking of the Enigma was one of the major breakthroughs that helped the Allies bring the war to an end. The result is that millions of lives that could have been lost were saved.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1384\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_1384\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1384 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/11\/Alan-Turing-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/11\/Alan-Turing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/11\/Alan-Turing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/11\/Alan-Turing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mub.eps.manchester.ac.uk\/science-engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2018\/11\/Alan-Turing.jpg 1348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_1384\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Alan Turing Memorial in Manchester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Today, Turing is celebrated not only for his wartime heroics and scientific breakthroughs, but also for what his legacy means to the LGBT community. In 1952, while working at the University, Turing was arrested and later prosecuted for \u2018gross indecency\u2019 following the discovery of his relationship with a man.<\/p>\n<p>Turing avoided prison by being chemically castrated, and also lost his Bletchley Park security clearance. He died from cyanide poisoning just a few years later.<\/p>\n<p>More than half a century later, the Alan Turing Law was created &#8211; legislation intended to exonerate other men convicted of indecency offences at a time when homosexuality was illegal.<\/p>\n<p>Each year during Manchester Pride, his statue in Sackville Street Gardens becomes the site of a candlelit vigil in his honour, and a chance to remember those who have been persecuted or who have lost their lives to HIV.<\/p>\n<p>Turing really is at the heart of Manchester and what the city stands for, and is a true heritage hero.<\/p>\n<p>We spoke to Turing\u2019s nephew Dermot Turing, who told us more about Turing\u2019s time at Bletchley Park. We also spoke to James Sumner, Senior Lecturer in History of Technology at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University.
