Hans Rosling makes several important points in this brief lecture about health and economy:

• It is possible to be entertaining and still present a serious message.
• Statistics can be made accessible.
• General education does not always reduce biased perceptions of the world.
• Data needs to be free!

Besides, the message is pretty uplifting.

I have been looking for a pet for some time and I finally found it. It is a Swedish badger, also known as the coconut crab or the tree-climbing crab. The badger usually lives in the deep forests of Sweden. Here we can see the badger far from its natural habitat.
