Did you know #FlorenceNightingale invented modern infographics? Her famous 1850s #CoxcombCharts proved that more soldiers died from disease than battle, changing medicine forever. At #StThomasHospital, she taught nurses to visualize data - a practice still used today. Every pandemic chart or hospital stat shows the world through Nightingale's eyes, 170 years later #KCLWoman
