Timing observations of PSR 1951+32, the 39.5 ms pulsar found in the CTB 80 supernova remnant, have detected a spin-up in the rotation rate of the neutron star. The fractional change in the rotational frequency of 2.1 x 10 to the -9th was accompanied by a fractional change in the frequency derivative of -0.00019 which has persisted for 1 yr after the event. Updated VLA astrometric observations of the pulsar are presented. Dispersion measure variations have been measured between 430 MHz and 1400 MHz at the level of 0.02 pc/cu cm. Together, dispersion measure fluctuations and diffractive scintillations indicate a power-law electron density turbulence spectrum on scales sizes between 10 to the 9th and 10 to the 14th cm that may be relevant to cosmic-ray propagation.
