I am happy to announce the launch of www.humanprogress.org. I hope that it becomes a trusted resource for students, journalists and the public in general.

Those who were not able to join us today will be able to see the video from the launch conference on our events page soon.

We heard a wonderful contribution from Robert Zoellick, the former World Bank President, as well as two very distinguished journalists, Ronald Bailey from Reason and Robert Samuelson from Washington Post.

In the meantime, please check out some of the cool charts and calculations that you will be able to make and share with your friends by using www.humanprogress.org.
