What’s been happening:

The opportunity to insert a note that came to me last week from Fae Jencks of the White House staff, "On behalf of the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy (OSTP), it is my pleasure to inform you that President Obama has selected you to be a recipient of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. This award is the Nation's highest honor for achievement in technology and innovation. First and foremost - congratulations! I know that the Director of OSTP, Dr. John P. Holdren is eager to congratulate you and will be reaching out to offer his personal congratulations in the coming days." In 1973 I was awarded the Alan Turing Award, by the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM, that was the highest ranking international award given in the field of Computer Science).
