Is there such a thing? http://www.valporev.com/2009/04/an-interesting-statistics-video-is-there-such-a-thing/ http://www.valporev.com/2009/04/an-interesting-statistics-video-is-there-such-a-thing/#comments Thu, 23 Apr 2009 05:40:25 +0000 rich http://www.valporev.com/?p=69 I was reading in the current issue of Time magazine about the growing number of lectures available for free online from Ivy League universities and unique conferences like TED.  The following video was mentioned in the article, and I must say… it’s fascinating!  Hans Rosling shares statistics on global health, debunking myths about developing nations “with the drama and urgency of a sportscaster,” thanks in part to some cool software his company has developed.  He’s quirky and funny and clearly passionate about what the data tells us about our world.

TED.com has lots of interesting videos on all sorts of topics, from skydiving to comedy to tech gear to business.  Check ‘em out, and if you find a favorite, share it in the comments!
