The document discusses Gapminder Vizabi, an open source data visualization tool. It includes instructions and examples for how to embed Vizabi visualizations on webpages, customize the visualizations, extend existing Gapminder tools, and create new tools and components. The goal is to help fight misinformation with fact-based data stories that everyone can understand using this visualization platform.
The document provides instructions for a webquest to explore development gaps using interactive data visualization tools from Gapminder and development indicator maps and data from the UNDP. The tasks involve selecting countries to compare changes in GDP per capita and life expectancy over time on Gapminder, copying graphs to a Word document, adding maps from the MDG Atlas on poverty and school completion, and exploring data on the Gender Inequality Index and Inequality-adjusted HDI on the UNDP site.
Math Gap-Minder: Patterns and trends of HIV on the Human PopulationAshutosh Goel
HIV damages the immune system and interferes with the body's ability to fight infections. The document analyzes HIV trends in Qatar and Zimbabwe between 1980 and 2000 using dynamic graphs. It finds that HIV levels in Qatar rose slowly and steadily while levels in Zimbabwe rose dramatically before declining slightly. The stable levels in Qatar are attributed to advanced healthcare and awareness campaigns funded by oil wealth, while Zimbabwe faces challenges controlling HIV due to a weaker economy and less donor funding.
The document discusses UN estimates for world population growth and trends in children, literacy rates, and their relationships to factors like life expectancy, child mortality, income, and education. It estimates that the number of children in the world by 2100 will be around 3 billion and that currently around 80% of adults worldwide are literate. Additional data visualizations are provided to explain the relationships between these demographic factors.
This document provides an overview of a session on investigating the world with data visualization. It introduces tools like Worldmapper, infographics, and Gapminder that can be used to visually represent data. The session will include an introduction to data visualization, brainstorming ideas for how to integrate these tools into content areas, and sharing ideas and next steps. Examples of maps, infographics, and Gapminder visualizations are presented to illustrate different data visualization approaches and techniques.
The document discusses the history and current state of literacy around the world. It notes that literacy has improved significantly since 1970, with the worldwide illiteracy rate decreasing by half between 1970 and 2000. However, a UN study from 1998 predicted illiteracy rates may start increasing in the 21st century if changes are not made, since only a quarter of children were in school by 2000. The document explores some proposed solutions such as increasing education funding and reforming education models.
1. YouTube has one billion videos viewed daily and 20 hours of video uploaded every minute.
2. Russians spend the most time on social networks, averaging 6.6 hours or 1,307 page views per day.
3. 60% of the world's population owns a cell phone, allowing access to social media platforms.
In 2014, Massey University's Design and Democracy Project partnered with Springload to develop a tool to help young, undecided and first-time voters get started on their political journey.
The document discusses a social media workshop at a national conference. It provides examples of how social media can be used to reach supporters and share news, stories, and information. Specific examples are given of how social media like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have been successfully used for campaigns, fundraising, and sharing research news. Attendees are asked to share their own social media usage ideas and experiences.

1. Development is a "wicked problem" that is best solved through an evolutionary process of variation and selection, not direct design.
2. Evolution requires variation, diversity of ideas, and feedback through engagement and selection.
3. For knowledge and development (K4D), this means focusing on building better feedback loops through diversity of ideas, engagement, and open sharing of information to drive learning, rather than trying to directly design solutions.
Slides from the talk I gave at the Bath Digital Festival. The talk covered the rise of fake news and misinformation, how technology companies such as Facebook and Google provide the infrastructure and incentives (including the science of attention) for its creation and the role human nature plays in helping fake news spread. The thrust of the talk is this: we have easier access to information than ever before but are we becoming more ignorant as a result?
This document discusses various ways to raise awareness and fight poverty through information, activism, and participation of famous artists. It explores organizations like Unicef and their use of images to convey important messages about issues like lack of access to clean water. It also discusses the "We are the World" effort and video that aimed to sensitize people to poverty through song and celebrity participation. Statistics are presented about the staggering impact and prevalence of poverty around the world, especially for children. Nelson Mandela is featured in a speech emphasizing unity and collective action against poverty.

This document discusses how social media can be used to improve scientific research, communication, and outreach. It notes that internet and social media usage has increased dramatically in recent years. Many people, especially younger individuals, now get their news and information about science from the internet and social media sites like Facebook and YouTube. The document provides examples of how government agencies like NOAA and individual researchers have successfully used Twitter and other platforms to raise awareness, share their work, and increase website traffic. It emphasizes that scientists need to be creative when utilizing social media and accept that they cannot see all content given the large volume of information available online.
Data presentation on global trends in immunisation, health and development. The presentation included a summary of the issues Gavi was created to address and how the results of its work are manifested in different countries.
The Directors of Communications at the British Overseas Aid Group (Oxfam, Save the Children, ActionAid, CAFOD &c) asked for some provocative new thoughts.
The question was: follow the heart or make nice and say the right things and get lots of consultancy work from these guys?

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.

Did you know that drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among young children? According to recent data, children aged 1-4 years are at the highest risk. Let's raise awareness and take steps to prevent these tragic incidents. Supervision, barriers around pools, and learning CPR can make a difference. Stay safe this summer!

My name
we work at Gapminder FoundationOur mission is to present a fact based world view. We do that mainly through educational material.
You might have heard of Gapminder from professor Hans Rosling.
He gives lectures with facts about the world and global development.
This is from a video that got quite viral last week.
We have Gapminder World, this Flash-based tool that allows:
People to explore data in a bubble chart
Play the world across time
Bought by google in 2008, used by thousands of people a day
teachers, students, researchers, general public.
