👁The simple genius of a good graphic
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣In a talk that's part history lesson, part love letter to graphics, information designer Tommy McCall traces the centuries-long evolution of charts and diagrams -- and shows how complex data can be sculpted into beautiful shapes. \"Graphics that help us think faster, or see a book's worth of information on a single page, are the key to unlocking new discoveries,\" McCall says.

👁The global goals we've made progress on -- and the ones we haven't
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣\"We are living in a world that is tantalizingly close to ensuring that no one need die of hunger or malaria or diarrhea,\" says economist Michael Green. To help spur progress, back in 2015 the United Nations drew up a set of 17 goals around important factors like health, education and equality. In this data-packed talk, Green shares his analysis on the steps each country has (or hasn't) made toward these Sustainable Development Goals -- and offers new ideas on what needs to change so we can achieve them.

👁The method that can "prove" almost anything
🧠James A. Smith
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 2011, a group of researchers conducted a study designed to find an impossible result. Their study involved real people, truthfully reported data, and commonplace statistical analyses. So how did they do it? The answer lies in a statistical method scientists often use to try to figure out whether their results mean something, or if they're random noise. James A. Smith explores p-hacking. [Directed by Anton Bogaty, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].
