From 1999, Ola led the development of the software Trendalyzer, which was acquired by Google in 2007. He continued to work at Google, focusing on democratizing access to public statistics and developing the digital infrastructure to integrate important official statistics into Google\u2019s search results. In 2011, Anna and Ola returned to Gapminder to continue creating educational materials that promote a fact-based worldview.<\/p>\n

Ola Rosling as a lecturer and author<\/h2>\n

In 2014, Ola coined the term \u201cFactfulness,\u201d which later became the title of the book he co-authored with Anna Rosling R\u00f6nnlund and Hans Rosling. The book was published in April 2018 and has been translated into 36 languages. The concept of \u201cFactfulness\u201d aims to highlight and promote fact-based learning, which is the very foundation of all of Ola\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

As a lecturer, Ola presents facts and statistics in a way that both engages and stays with the audience. He shows the world from a perspective we are not used to seeing.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
