Top Computer Science Award Goes to Woman for the First Time
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007
The highest honor in the field of Computer Science, the A.M. Turing Award, has gone to a woman for the first time. The special lady is Frances E. Allen, who worked at IBM for her entire career. She got some nice prizes with the award:
The various prizes: cufflinks, a tie clip, a certificate praising the recipient for “his accomplishments.”
Nice. She gets $100,000 too, so I guess that part is good.
