Hello SIGCIS, For some years I've had a little side job for the ACM as editor of the Turing Award website: https://amturing.acm.org/. This centers on short biographical profiles of the awardees. https://amturing.acm.org/alphabetical.cfm Most of the heavy lifting to get those written, edited, and posted was carried out by the founding editor, Mike Williams. ACM has been running a major initiative to get video history interviews performed with as many of the living Turing awardees as possible. In some cases they have borrowed existing interviews performed by other organizations, but most of the featured interviews are newly conducted and range from one to four hours. The majority are conducted by fellow computer scientists or journalists with only a handful by historians, so there's considerable variation in tone, interview strategy and topics covered from one interview to another. We have attached the full video interviews to the profiles, via "Video Interview' icon near the top of the profile. All together, there are currently 35 video interviews, all available on YouTube: https://www.acm.org/turing-award-50/turing-laureate-interviews. It turned out that not many people were clicking over from the profiles to watch the videos, and that YouTube is more excited by unboxing and cat videos than long interviews with eminent computer scientists. So the ACM History Committee sponsored me to edit down short (mostly 3 to 6 minute) clips from the long interviews and embed them in the biographical profiles. These clips might also be useful for those of you teaching computer science courses or history or STS courses that touch on the contributions of the awardees. You can browse the full list at <https://www.youtube.com/c/turingawardeeclips/videos> https://www.youtube.com/c/TuringAwardeeClips/videos On the computer science side the relevance should be fairly obvious, as I tried to prepare at least one clip for each awardee focused on their most famous contributions. So you could show Hoare explaining quicksort or CSPs, Lamport on the bakery algorithm, Knuth on TeX or The Art of Computer Programming, Cook on why P=NP matters, Liskov on the Liskov Substitution Principle and so on. Here are some examples of videos that might be useful for certain history or STS courses: Feigenbaum on editing Computers and Thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfr2GnWNYzg Kahan and Cerf on why the ARPANET was built: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXTuu7i4hEY Knuth on early compiler writing (and why he decided not to do it for a living): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvlEQwB0m0I Brooks on writing The Mythical Man Month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhDvZ17f2nU Hellman on the definition of public key encryption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA1Aao1hc8g <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA1Aao1hc8g&t=12s> &t=12s Rivest on the origins of RSA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1I1LC1DpeA Allen on joining IBM and teaching FORTRAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcyOIkhDk1s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcyOIkhDk1s&t=11s> &t=11s Backus on the creation of FORTRAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBpj84F9-io Stonebraker on building INGRES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0da-1IJH2OQ Blum on creating CAPTCHA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7FmOaLJfLw Goldwasser on Berkeley's computer science department: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8jP7aShw80 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8jP7aShw80&t=134s> &t=134s Bachman on IDS, the first database management system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rncvHOLg1bU <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rncvHOLg1bU&t=28s> &t=28s Kahan on the HP programmable calculators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mBw7tnRx1c <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mBw7tnRx1c&t=294s> &t=294s Reddy on Graduate School with John McCarthy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0pBxEL-N-o <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0pBxEL-N-o&t=22s> &t=22s Also, if you need cheering up, watch Micali on how he barely survived graduate school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMVt8S91P0g <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMVt8S91P0g&t=80s> &t=80s. Or if you want to despair at how the academic job market today is not like that in the early days of CS, hear Hopcroft explain how he was hired at Princeton without having published anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCs1SqHUdzk <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCs1SqHUdzk&t=19s> &t=19s Best wishes, Tom
