På siden HER ses en video, der viser (på baggrund af statistik) at verden ændrer sig og at det tilsyneladende umulige er muligt – f.eks. også i Afrika

Hans Rosling is professor of International Health at the Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. When working as a doctor in Mozambique he discovered Konzo, a formerly unknown paralytic disease caused by malnutrition and intoxication. His research traced the causes to malnutrition and dietary cyanide exposure from short processed cassava roots. He has also studied other links between poverty and health in Asia and Latin America. He has been an adviser regarding vaccination and essential drugs to WHO, UNICEF and Sida and he co-founded Médecines sans Frontiers in Sweden.
He co-founded Gapminder, a non-profit venture for development of software that unveils the beauty of statistics by converting boring numbers into enjoyable moving and interactive graphics. His award winning lectures with animated statistics were labeled ‘humorous, yet deadly serious’. Google acquired the animation software Trendalyzer from Gapminder and Hans Rosling is now pioneering the use of animated statistics to show global trends on video and in TV.
Dr. Rosling was listed as one of 100 leading global thinkers by Foreign Policy Magazine (2009), and as one of 100 most creative people in business by the Fast Company Magazine (2011). He is a member of the International Group of the Swedish Academy of Science and of the Global Agenda Network of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
