Hans Rosling is a Professor of International Health at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. He is known to be a "statistic guru" and also got described as presenting his data with the "drama and urgency of a sportscaster". Rosling is the co-founder of the Gapminder Foundation, which is aimed to promote a fact-based world view through increased use and understanding of freely accessible public statistics. A good example for his work and appearance is the following video which shows Rosling at a TED conference in 2006.
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED). See their website for more info.
