Hans Rosling makes numbers talk and sing

Hans is a professor of public health who specializes also in data visualization. He has shown how data can inform policy-making.

The following video is a must see for those interested in numbers for decision-making and/or alleviating poverty. Also, you’ll love Hans for his sense-of-humour.

Watch the entire video to see him swallow a sword at the end to make his point:

anything is possible.
