OT but fascinating:
Hans Rosling is a public health expert, director
of Sweden's world-renowned Karolinska Institute, and founder of Gapminder, a non-profit
that brings vital global data to life. With the drama and urgency of a
sportscaster, he debunks a few myths about the "developing" world. (Recorded
February, 2006 in Monterey, CA.)
