Crooked Timber notes that today is the fiftieth anniversary of Alan Turing's death. Although I once wrote a comic opera about his work, I know very little about his life -- Kieran's description of Turing's death came as a great surprise to me:
Turing committed suicide after being forced to take estrogen for a year to "cure" him of his homosexuality.
