Hans Rosling is Professor of International Health at Karolinska Institutet, and Co-Founder of Gapminder Foundation. As a young MD he worked in Mozambique (1979-1980) where he discovered a formerly unrecognised paralytic disease that his research team named Konzo.

His award-winning lectures on global trends have been labelled “humorous yet deadly serious.”
