What Inspired My Data Vizualization Journey – The Joy of Stats / GapMinder
“Our mission is to fight devastating ignorance with a fact-based worldview everyone can understand.”
Founded in Stockholm on 25 February 2005 by Ola Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund, and Hans Rosling.
Hans gave his first TED talk, called, “The best statistics you’ve ever seen” in 2006.
