Alan Turing was a visionary scientist whose mathematical work on pattern formation was misunderstood and dismissed by his contemporaries.

“Turing here is this mathematician, he's got no background in bio, he's never dissected a frog in his life, you know what I mean? And he barges in and he says, "Oh, no, it's just a puddle of chemicals and then fluid dynamics does the rest, you know? It's just diffusion, there's nothing going on."”

Alan Turing's contributions to computing formed a fundamental and lasting foundation for the field.

“It wasn't just the foundation, but it was it was also like the beams that were still hanging on. Turing tests and I I mean, I knew all of that.”
