To those who don’t know of him, I’d like to quickly introduce you to Hans Rosling, Professor of Global Health. Hans has a mission to show that statistics can be fun. Although I’m already sold on this concept, I am well aware that the majority are not!
As part of his mission he has co-founded and is chairman of the Gapminder Foundation. The Gapminder Foundation has set out its aims to:
“…promote sustainable global development and achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by increased use and understanding of statistics and other information about social, economic and environmental development at local, national and global levels.”
The video below is a snippet of his work and introduction to Trendalyzer; software developed by the Gapfinder Foundation that converts international statistics into interactive graphs.
