A sad day indeed. One of his TED talks changed my career forever:

Every medicine student should watch that video to understand how much a proper presentation of data might change your vision about a subject.

I saw him give a variant of this talk at Google, it was very powerful. The world has lost a great teacher.

He actually had a green badge for a while. That's normally associated with interns, but it's also given to visiting scientists. Something about that was just funny.

I only waved hello to him, but was very lucky to spend time with the Gapminder/Trendalyzer folks in B41 (his son Ola, Anna and Henrik), before they moved back to Stockholm. My thoughts go out to Ola and Anna. :-(

Could you elaborate?

Just seeing his presentation here, the most I can take away for my career is presentation.

The way data is presented means if the audience understands it and is interested versus simply saying good job and moving on.
