Hans Rosling: No more boring data: TEDTalks

With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling uses an amazing 

new presentation tool, Gapminder, to present data that debunks several myths about 

world development. Rosling is professor of international health at Sweden's Karolinska 

Institute, and founder of Gapminder, a nonprofit that brings vital global data to life. 

(Recorded February 2006 in Monterey, CA.)
