The high school student who Maps ISIS' advance

Thomas van Linge's colorful, detailed maps showing which parties control which parts of Iraq, Libya and Syria are a hit whenever he posts them on Twitter. They have been cited on news stories in the Huffington Post, Lebanon's Daily Star and Vox, as well as on the University of Texas at Austin's website. But van Linge isn't a policy expert and he's never been to the region: In fact, heis just a Dutch high school student who tracks the war on social media.Quite amazing (van Linge's work, obviously - not the subject matter!).
