Swedish physician and statistician Hans Rosling turned abstract development data into powerful visual stories. Through his Gapminder project, he animated global datasets on income, health, education, and population, showing how the world was improving in ways people didn’t expect.

His work democratized access to global development data and reshaped public understanding of poverty, life expectancy, and inequality.

Frances Kelsey, a physician and FDA scientist, analyzed clinical trial data on thalidomide, a drug promoted for morning sickness in pregnant women. She noticed insufficient safety data and refused to approve the drug in the U.S., despite heavy pressure from pharmaceutical companies.

Her scrutiny saved thousands of babies from severe birth defects, reinforcing the need for rigorous drug testing and leading to stronger FDA regulations on pharmaceuticals.
