To understand God's thoughts, we must study statistics #gresham #shorts #maths #florencenightingale

Taken from a Gresham lecture by Sarah Hart at David Game College, London.

Florence Nightingale is the founder of modern nursing and a pioneer of data science and medical statistics. Her innovative use of statistical diagrams helped people see just how many deaths were being caused by poor hygiene in military hospitals.

This lecture will look at the importance and legacy of Nightingale’s work, which led to her becoming, in 1858, the first woman elected to the Royal Statistical Society.
