Free Zoom Event God’s Revenge Upon Murder: Florence Nightingale’s Mortality and Health Diagrams

29 January 2026
6:00pm
Free to all

Join the Florence Nightingale Museum from anywhere in the world as we explore Nightingale’s Statistical Work!

Florence Nightingale used colourful diagrams to persuade royals and generals to adopt reforms that prevented countless deaths. Data storyteller RJ Andrews will tell us the story of exactly how she did it. He is the chronicler of the motivation and craft behind Nightingale and her team. We will meet many colourful characters, see sample diagrams from both of her coxcomb folios, investigate hand-drawn drafts of her diagrams, and compare Nightingale’s campaign against competing efforts. By the end, we will better appreciate what it takes to bring positive change to the world.

When: Thursday 29th January

Starts: 6:00pm

The event will last around 30 minutes followed by time for questions.

This event is free to join (although we do recommend a donation if you are able to help fund future programs like this). Please reserve your space online. Link to join will be sent prior to event.
