Dear all, Yesterday the sad news broke that Hans Rosling, the Swedish statistician, has died from cancer: http://www.thelocal.se/20170207/swedish-statistician-hans-rosling-dies-from-pancreatic-cancer.
Not only was he “a world famous public educator, or Edutainer as he liked to call it”, a number of the Software Carpentry teaching materials use a dataset derived from his Gapminder World <http://www.gapminder.org/world>, "a web-service displaying time series of development statistics for all countries and many sub-national regions” (Wikipedia). Let’s continue to honour Hans Rosling’s legacy by reusing his material while improving the life of researchers. Regards, Lex Nederbragt
