Včeraj je po dolgi bolezni umrl statistik, profesor mednorodnega zdravstva, in čarovnik pri vizualnih predstavitvah podatkov, Hans Rosling. Iz zapisa na The Guardian:
It was his first Ted talk that thrust renowned Swedish academic Hans Rosling into the international spotlight in 2006, billed as the man in whose hands data sings. Since then, the statistician more likely to illustrate an idea with a few multi-coloured lego bricks than a PowerPoint has been described as everything from a data guru to a Jedi master of data visualisation.
Roslingove predstavitve smo večkrat občudovali tudi na Kvarkadabri:
- Hans Rosling tokrat o čudežu pralnega stroja
- S statistiko nad revščino in bolezni
- Ključni problemi človeštva – nazorno s pomočjo LEGO kock
- Kakšno je globalno stanje človeštva?
