Hans Rosling

Hans Rosling was a Swedish physician, professor of global health, and a global educator known for transforming dry data into vivid storytelling. He cofounded the Gapminder Foundation with his son Ola Rosling and daughter-in-law Anna Rosling Rönnlund to fight ignorance with facts. Hans delivered numerous TED Talks that reached millions and was once listed among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people. His life’s mission was to correct the misconceptions we carry about the world using animated statistics, human stories, and humor. Factfulness was his final work—a legacy that continues to challenge and inspire minds across the globe.
