The by now rather legendary Jer Thorp yesterday talked at TEDx Vancouver about humanizing data. He also shows some of hos greatest work. Great for inspiration.

I'm pretty much in love with a data. Or, the knowledge we can extract from it. Or, rather, the better decisions that can be made based on said knowledge.
I hold a M.Sc in Sociology a MA in Historical Social Enquiry (Social History + Historical Sociology + Global Development), and work as Information Management Lead at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. I guess you can call me a Computational Sociologist of Global Development and Humanitarian Action. No less.
That's pretty much it, really.
