This year, our own Professor Barbara Partee is being presented with the Franklin Institute Award for Computer and Cognitive Science. Past recipients of this award have included Elissa Newport, William Labov, and Noam Chomsky. A special symposium was held in honor of this award on April 19th, a recording of which should be available soon.
Tonight (April 29th), however, is the main event, the actual induction of Barbara Partee as a Franklin Institute Awards recipient. Due to this event being held remotely this year, everyone will be able to view it at the link above – an incredibly special honor, that would not have been possible in more normal times. The ceremony will include a video tribute to Barbara and her work, which is not to be missed.
